The Oklahoma Sooners are making progress on the 2024 recruiting cycle, with just shy of a year until 2024’s national signing day.
They received another recruiting projection for 2024 safety [autotag]Mykel Patterson-McDonald[/autotag]. Parker Thune of OUInsider at 247Sports issued a projection for the Westmoore product. Josh McCuistion of SoonerScoop.com and Rivals issued a FutureCast Patterson-McDonald a couple of weeks ago.
Here’s what I had to say about Patterson-McDonald on Feb. 1.
Simply put, Patterson-McDonald plays big and plays with tenacity. He attacks the ball in the air and is physical at the catch point. When receivers are targeted over the middle of the field, Patterson-McDonald makes sure they feel his presence with physical hits. He also does a great job playing the ball when it’s in the air. He shows good awareness and reaction when the ball is thrown, allowing him to jump routes to pick off passes. – Williams, Sooners Wire
He has the ability and tenacity to be a really good safety or nickel corner for Oklahoma. Though he’s unrated at the moment, over the next year, he’ll start gaining steam as a prospect. He plays fast and with an edge that will fit right in with what Brent Venables and his defensive staff are building in Norman.
