The wait for the Oklahoma Sooners first commitment in the 2024 recruiting cycle is over. The ice is broken and the first domino has fallen. Jeremiah Newcombe is committed to the Oklahoma Sooners.
In the four-star cornerback, the Oklahoma Sooners got a guy that plays with an edge. He’s quick to diagnose the play and has fantastic reaction time. His speed and his quickness allow him to get to the receiver in a hurry to minimize any gains. When he arrives, he does so with authority, using good technique to wrap up the ball carrier.
Jeremiah Newcombe is an athlete. He plays wide receiver for Casteel as well and even lined up some as a wildcat quarterback. When he has the ball in his hands, he knows how to make people miss and has the speed to run away from defenders.
In addition to his prowess on both sides of the ball, he also has the ability to return punts, which will be a great asset for the Sooners once they have him on campus.
With the first commitment of the 2024 class, there will be even more dominos falling in the cycle over the next few weeks. But here are some of the best social media reactions to the commitment of Jeremiah Newcombe to the Oklahoma Sooners.
