Who Ohio State football offered within the last 24 hours

The Buckeyes have been busy #GoBucks

The Ohio State football recruiting machine has been burning a bit more gas over the last 24 hours. [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] and his staff have been extremely busy, as they have sent out a plethora of offers across the country.

The focus was mainly on the defensive line, but another position was offered as well. It seems like Day has identified a potential future weakness among the “Rushmen” and is looking for more bodies to join that group.

[autotag]Larry Johnson[/autotag], the defensive line position coach, missed out on more than a few of his top choices during the 2023 cycle. It seems like the Buckeyes are casting a much wider net in 2024. Find out who recently got an Ohio State offer below.

Alabama offers 2024 EDGE Danny Okoye

2024 edge rusher Danny Okoye received his 20th offer on Sunday from Alabama.

Alabama’s coaching staff recently extended an offer to 2024 edge rusher Danny Okoye from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The primary recruiter in Okoye’s recruitment is wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins.

Okoye has the ideal size for an edge rusher at 6-foot-5, 233 pounds. Typically, Alabama’s edge rushers are lengthy and quick off the line of scrimmage. He checks one of the boxes at this time.

As of right now, he has 20 offers from programs all across the country. According to On3’s RPM, he is currently trending toward Oklahoma State at 52.3% likelihood. It is early in his recruitment, so the Tide could make up some ground.

UGA football offers home-schooled pass rusher

Who is class of 2024 edge rusher Danny Okoye?

The Georgia Bulldogs have offered a scholarship to class of 2024 edge rusher Danny Okoye. The unranked junior pass rusher already has more than a dozen scholarship offers.

The 6-foot-5, 230-pound edge rusher is a good student. He plays high school football for Northeast Oklahoma Association of Homeschools in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Okoye is a versatile player. He plays tight end, running back and defensive end. Okoye recorded over 10 sacks as a sophomore.

Head coach Kirby Smart and Georgia football have the No. 3 class of 2024 in the country. Georgia has commitments from five players in the class of 2024. However, none of Georgia’s commitments are on the defensive side of the football.

The 2024 pass rusher has scholarship offers from Tennessee, Oregon, Kansas State, Duke and many more notable college football programs.

Okoye does a good job of setting the edge and shows good power as a pass rusher on tape.

Here are some of Okoye’s recent highlights:

Oklahoma Sooners extend offer to 2024 EDGE Danny Okoye out of Tulsa

The Oklahoma Sooners issued an offer to in-state 2024 EDGE out of Tulsa Danny Okoye.

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.”
