Grinch giveth, Grinch taketh away.
Or something like that. Just as the Sooners pick up a new commitment from 2020 linebacker, Shane Whitter, Oklahoma loses a commitment from 2020 four-star linebacker, Edgerrin Cooper.
This was one of the hardest decisions to make ever in my life. After talking it over with my family, I am announcing that I’m decommiting from The University of Oklahoma . I also want to thank the OU fan base for all of their support and love!
My Recruitment is Now Open 🚨

Cooper leaves a potential linebacking corps that includes 2020 commit, Brynden Walker (Bishop McGuinness High School; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma), 2020 commit Shane Whitter (Williams High School; Burlington, North Carolina) and current Sooners, Brian Asamoah, Deshaun White and Ryan Jones.
An unfamiliar look for some Sooners fans, Oklahoma does not have room for everyone on defense. Although fans may hate to see a decommitment on the defensive side of the ball, it can be a good problem to have if Grinch and his staff can play their cards right.
However, Cooper’s decommitment slid the Sooners down a spot in the Rival’s team rankings from No. 13 to No. 14. With Texas still at No. 8 in the Rival’s rankings, the Sooners are still in fine position as signing day approaches.
