The latest offer from the Oklahoma Sooners went out to 2024 EDGE rusher Danny Okoye out of Tulsa, Okla. Okoye plays for the Northeast Oklahoma Association of Homeschools.
Currently unrated, Okoye is only getting started in his recruitment. He received his first offer back in May and currently has only seven offers, according to 247Sports, though many more will come in the future.
The first thing that stands out with Danny Okoye is his size. At 6-foot-5, he’s an imposing figure on the field. His length allows him to get in on would-be blockers to keep them from getting any leverage in one-on-one situations. He’s an athletic player with a good first step off the ball and good speed on the rush. Okoye closes on the quarterback quickly, and when he gets a hand on them, they go down. He’s a tenacious player looking to impose his will, whether on the pass rush or as a tight end blocking for the offense.
Entering his junior year, Okoye has all the tools to develop into an elite EDGE for the 2024 class and as he’s now on the radar of the top schools in Oklahoma as well as USC and Texas Tech, it’s likely that development will happen as he attends camps over the remainder of his high school career.
When Okoye announced the offer on Twitter, SoonerScoop’s Josh McCuistion shared his thoughts on social media as well, saying, “Big time pass rusher with elite athletic skills, he’s just scratching the surface of who he can be.”
