A native of Owasso, Okla., Compton-Nero is listed at 6-foot-3 and 187 pounds. According to ESPN, Compton-Nero is the No. 35 overall prospect from the 2028 class.
The Sooners are recruiting Compton-Nero to play safety, but as a high-school player, he’s a multi-position star.
He currently plays for Owasso High School after spending his first two high school seasons at Rejoice Christian School. As a sophomore at Rejoice Christian in 2025, Compton-Nero notched 95 tackles, five interceptions and three return touchdowns while also accumulating 3,335 yards of offense and 49 total touchdowns.
Compton-Nero has been a regular on Oklahoma’s campus over the last several months.
The athlete prospect attended OU’s spring game in April before taking another unofficial visit during the summer. He took a gameday visit to OU’s season-opening win against UTEP on Sept. 4 and sat in the Sooners’ recruits section at the Cotton Bowl on Oct. 10, when they defeated No. 1 Texas.
Compton-Nero will choose between Oklahoma, Notre Dame, SMU, Alabama and Ole Miss. He has taken unofficial visits to each of his finalists during the fall, and he was on hand for Notre Dame’s home win over No. 1 Miami on Saturday.
