The state of Oklahoma is stacked in the 2023 basketball recruiting class, but Brandon Garrison is the highest-ranked recruit the state has to offer going into the summer.
Garrison, a 6-foot-9, 205-pound center from Del City, is a four-star prospect who ranks 56th nationally in the composite rankings. Garrison has offers from Kansas, Arkansas, LSU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and others.
He is off to a hot start on the AAU circuit this summer. A member of Team Griffin in Nike's EYBL, Garrison has averaged 12.8 points and seven rebounds a contest while shooting 62% from the field, and Team Griffin is 6-2 two sessions into the calendar.
Garrison told PFB he will take an official visit to Stillwater starting May 13. He spoke with PFB Wednesday evening to discuss the visit, his relationship with OSU commit Parker Friedrichsen and more.
