There's a chance he could be a male Phidippus cardinalis -- a bit of research reveals both P. apacheanus and P. cardinalis are found in this area of Oklahoma.

Definitely Phidippus apacheanus as opposed to P. cardinalis... apacheanus is characteristically a more intense red, cardinalis more orangey with lighter bristles which may appear silvery; reports of cardinalis indicate makings on the abdomen but absent in apacheanus... in the video above, the intense red can be seen as well as an absence of abdominal markings- compare below:
Phidippus apacheanus
Phidipuus cardinalis

Thank you for posting this lovely little guy. I'm a fan of jumping spiders. Having one in a house is almost like having a pet.
