2023 Alabama defensive back Avery Stuart earns Oklahoma offer

Avery Stuart, out of Alabama Christian Academy in Montgomery, Ala., earned an Oklahoma offer recently.

As Oklahoma looks to build its 2023 class heading into the spring and beyond, it’s time to start stacking defensive talent among that group. In its 2023 class, OU has commitments from four-star quarterback Jackson Arnold, four-star wide receiver Ashton Cozart, three-star offensive lineman Joshua Bates and athlete Erik McCarty.

Oklahoma extended an offer to class of 2023 four-star defensive back Avery Stuart on Feb. 14. Stuart is from Alabama Christian Academy in Montgomery, Ala. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound defensive back holds offers from 18 schools according to 247Sports.

That list includes SEC programs Arkansas, Auburn, Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Ole Miss. From the ACC, Stuart has earned offers from Florida State, Georgia Tech, Miami, and North Carolina State. Big Ten schools Michigan State, Nebraska, and Penn State have also offered Stuart. In addition to those schools, Stuart holds offers from Colorado, Eastern Kentucky, Memphis, Toledo, and UCF.

Out of the recruiting services, On3 ranks Stuart the highest. According to On3’s rankings, Stuart is the No. 132 player overall, the No. 15 cornerback, and the 13th-best prospect from the state of Alabama in the 2023 class. Rivals rates Stuart as the No. 178 player nationally, the No. 27 cornerback, and the No. 18 player from Alabama.

247Sports lists Stuart as a three-star safety. According to 247Sports, Stuart is the No. 29 safety in the 2023 class and the 19th-best player from Alabama. In the On3 consensus rankings, Stuart checks in as the No. 175 player nationally, the No. 20 corner, and the No. 15 player from Alabama. In the 247Sports composite rankings, Stuart is the No. 252 player overall, the No. 25 safety, and the 17th highest-rated recruit from Alabama.

With that type of size and the way that Stuart runs, it’s easy to see him playing at Oklahoma for coach Jay Valai at corner or coach Brandon Hall at safety. Stuart has played a lot of wide receiver in high school, too.
