Oklahoma has kept very busy on the recruiting trail with lots of offers going out this week. Another has come in on Friday with one being extended to class of 2023 defensive end Avion Carter out of Tascosa High School in Amarillo, Texas.
The Sooners are the eighth to offer Carter and join fellow Big 12 programs Baylor, TCU, Texas and Texas Tech. Despite being still two years away from college ball, the size is there for Carter as he comes in at 6-4 and 240 pounds which is nearly identical to what current Oklahoma defensive lineman Isaiah Thomas was when he came out in 2017.
His size and strength make him a matchup nightmare in high school, frequently able to blow right by the man blocking him to get into the backfield and make things happen. Currently unrated by the major recruiting outlets, he will have the chance to make more of a name for himself over the next couple of seasons.
