The early signing period is underway, and the Oklahoma Sooners’ [autotag]2023 recruiting class[/autotag] is beginning to put pen to paper.
[autotag]DeMarco Murray[/autotag] procured another one. Daylan Smothers signed with the Oklahoma Sooners, joining a very young and talented running back room.
247Sports has Smothers ranked as the No. 20 running back in the class and the No. 12 player in the state of North Carolina.
Hailing from West Charlotte High School, Smothers is the lone 2023 Sooner signee from North Carolina.
After visiting OU in June, Smothers committed to the Sooners on July 14 in what was a very good month of recruiting for Brent Venables’ staff. Smothers also had offers from Florida State, Alabama and N.C. State. He visited the Wolfpack program earlier this month.

The young running back is 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds. He was named North Carolina High School Player of the year after his sophomore season.
Javonte Barnes ended up getting the ball quite a bit as a freshman at Oklahoma. Will Smothers earn the same treatment?
Players who use the moniker “Hollywood” seem to have a good track record in crimson and cream.
