Oklahoma continues to see its [autotag]2024 recruiting[/autotag] stock pick up major momentum in April. It started with the commitment of four-star QB Michael Hawkins. On Monday evening, it continued with three-star wide receiver KJ Daniels’ commitment.
Mixed in between the commitments, the Sooners have been on the receiving end of a bevy of predictions for several prospects.
The latest prospect joining that group was 2024 defensive lineman Joseph Jonah-Ajonye.
Ajonye, a composite four-star on 247Sports, hails from Conroe, Texas. He plays a versatile game, lining up inside and outside for his high school team. He looks like he could have the ability to bulk up and play inside as a 3-technique defensive tackle in his college years or outside and play a strong-side defensive end position.
Oklahoma received three projections from OUInsider’s Parker Thune and Brandon Drumm to go along with a prediction from On3 recruiting maven Sam Spiegelman on Thursday.
Once considered a Texas A&M lean, the tide has shifted significantly to favor the Crimson & Cream.
Oklahoma has no committed defensive linemen and awaits decisions from their top two targets, [autotag]Williams Nwaneri[/autotag] and [autotag]David Stone[/autotag]. A possible commitment from Ajonye would not take the Sooners out of the running for either top-10 player.
Ajonye looks like a rapid riser in recruiting rankings, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see such a talented player end up as a consensus top-75 prospect.
