2021 four-star weak-side defensive end Kelvin Gilliam will make his college decision known on August 22. 

2021 four-star weak-side defensive end Kelvin Gilliam will make his college decision known on August 22.

Gilliam ranks as the No. 7 WDE and No. 3 player out of Virginia, per 247Sports.

OU’s 2021 class recently received its crown jewel, in the form of No. 1 QB Caleb Williams. Williams hails from Washington, D.C., only two hours away from Gilliam’s hometown of Highland Springs, VA.

Not only are Williams and Gilliam interested in the prospect of becoming teammates, they may end up rooming together at OU, Gilliam told Sports Illustrated’s AllSooners.

Gilliam would be the fourth DL prospect in O’s 2021 class, joining fellow four-stars Ethan Downs, Clayton Smith and Nathan Rawlins-Kibonge.

Also on DC Alex Grinch’s radar: Gilliam’s high school teammate and 2021 three-star CB Damond Harmon. Harmon will be committing on August 1st, choosing between OU, South Carolina, Tennessee, Penn State and Georgia.

As of July 31, 247Sports’ Crystal Ball gives OU a 100% chance of landing Harmon. It’s hard to imagine this domino would not have some kind of effect on Gilliam’s decision later in the month.
