One of Oklahoma’s commitments has decided to wait.
Four-star defensive end Reggie Grimes, who committed three weeks ago to defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, will not sign his national letter of intent with the Sooners on early national signing day, according to Mike Farrell—the National Recruiting Director for Rivals.com.

Grimes also told Farrell that no other schools are involved, and the it is a family decision to wait.

The Brentwood, Tennessee, native chose Oklahoma over Alabama and South Carolina on Thanksgiving. He is listed as the 73rd best prospect and the fourth best weak-side defensive end in the country, according to Rivals.
Grimes becomes the second commit or target not to sign in the early NCAA signing period. Long time Oklahoma lean Josh Eaton will not sign today, either, according to a report.
Thus far on early national signing day, Oklahoma has signed 15 of its 20 commitments. The Sooners’ signing class is currently ranked 12th in the country, per Rivals.
The Feb. signing period opens on Feb. 5, 2020.
