Their’s a steady drumbeat favoring the Oklahoma Sooners in the recruitment of 2024 five-star defensive lineman [autotag]Williams Nwaneri[/autotag].
Earlier this week, a pair of predictions came through for the top defensive lineman in the 2024 cycle. Parker Thune of OUInsider issued a crystal ball and Shayne Pickering of VolsReport at Rivals submitted a futurecast in favor of the Oklahoma Sooners.
Now, Oklahoma has picked up a third prediction since Nwaneri visited Norman this past weekend, this time from Thune’s colleague at OUInsider, Brandon Drumm.
The Sooners seem to be well-positioned to land one of the top prospects in the 2024 class. Nwaneri is the No. 9 prospect overall in the 247Sports composite. 247Sports has him as the No. 1 DL, while the composite position ranking has him No. 2.
He’s received a host of offers from a who’s who of college football programs, but the Sooners look to be out in front.
Nwaneri is a versatile defensive lineman who can play on the edge and move inside in pass-rushing situations. He’s physical at the point of the attack, has a motor that will not quit, and possesses the athleticism to work around blocks to get into the backfield.
There’s a long way to go in the 2024 cycle, and nothing’s final until signing day, but the Oklahoma Sooners look well-positioned for one of the best players in the 2024 recruiting class.
