For the first time in over a month, Oklahoma has gained a commitment on the recruiting trail.

The Sooners last landed a recruit on March 31 when in-state safety Jordan Mukes pulled the trigger after recently earning an offer from Oklahoma.

Defensive coordinator Alex Grinch is back at it again, as three-star, class of 2021 linebacker Danny Stutsman has announced his commitment to Oklahoma.

Stutsman hails from the Orlando, Florida, area in Winter Garden. The Foundation Academy prospect chose Oklahoma over a final list of Minnesota, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech and West Virginia.

For the fifth-straight year, the Sooners have landed a recruit from the state of Florida. Stutsman will join Kendal Dennis (2020), Jaden Davis (2019) and Nik Bonitto (2018) amongst others from the Sunshine State on Oklahoma’s roster.

In the 2021 recruiting class, Oklahoma now holds five commitments. Stutsman is the third defender so far in the upcoming recruiting class, joining state of Oklahoma prospects Mukes and defensive end Ethan Downs.

Is the first week of May finally the start of Oklahoma football’s recruiting momentum?

The Sooners were able to land rangy defensive back Jordan Mukes from the 2021 recruiting class in early April. They haven’t had a commitment since despite a lot of teasing by Oklahoma coaches and recruits on Twitter over the last month.

That could be changing as three-star linebacker Danny Stutsman will be announcing his commitment next week, he posted on Twitter on Thursday.

Stutsman, a Winter Garden, Florida, native, was offered by Oklahoma on March 2. He is listed as a three-star on Rivals and 247 Sports, but has garnered attention from the likes of Utah, Texas A&M and Virginia Tech since the start of his junior season in 2019.

The 6-foot-3, 215 pound linebacker released a top-6 on April 21 of Minnesota, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, West Virginia and Oklahoma.

The Sooners currently have four commitments in the 2021 recruiting class. Two reside on the defensive side of the ball and the other two on offense. Another major target, wide receiver Christian Leary, has a commitment date coming in June.
