England’s No. 1 prospect shares top 5, commitment date

England’s No. 1 player Daniel Akinkunmi shared his top five a little more than a month before he announces his commitment.

The Oklahoma Sooners are in a fight for the nation’s No. 1 prospect. The nation of England, that is.

Offensive lineman [autotag]Daniel Akinkunmi[/autotag] is one of the most intriguing prospects in the [autotag]2024 recruiting class[/autotag]. He is raw but very athletic for his size.

Akinkunmi is listed at 6 feet, 5 inches and 300 pounds. He recently ran an impressive 4.95 40-yard dash. The athletic offensive line prospect is a part of the NFL Academy in England.

Akinkunmi is coming off a visit to Oklahoma, his first visit to campus for a game. All reports said he had a great time, and Oklahoma remains the favorite.

 

But Oklahoma is going to be in for a dogfight; Akinkunmi listed his top five and all of the schools are going to be hard to beat. The five were the Clemson Tigers, Ole Miss Rebels, Miami Hurricanes, Baylor Bears and, of course, Oklahoma.

Akinkunmi also set his commitment date for Oct. 12, 2023, so the Sooners will not have to wait long for an answer. More good news is Akinkunmi announced he would not be take any more visits and instead focus on his team’s season.

The Sooners will have a tough battle for Akinkunmi. The Bears have been hanging around for a while, and you can never count out the Clemson Tigers. But for someone who said he wants to go down as the best offensive lineman ever, it would be hard to pass up playing for [autotag]Bill Bedenbaugh[/autotag].
