Oklahoma Sooners 2024 Early Signing Period Tracker
It’s Day 1 of the 2024 early signing period, and the Oklahoma Sooners are already off to the races. A number of their prospects started the ball rolling first thing this morning, signing their national letters of intent to play ball at Oklahoma.
It’s expected that nearly all of Oklahoma’s committed players in the 2024 class will sign for the Sooners on Day 1 of the early signing period. However, as we saw in the Peyton Bowen recruitment a year ago, there could be a surprise or two during the early signing period.
As Oklahoma welcomes in its 2024 recruiting class, here are the players that officially became members of the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Sooners have officially signed each of their 2024 commitments.

Daniel Akinkunmi is rated the No. 39 interior offensive lineman in the 2024 recruiting cycle, and he chose the Sooners over Clemson, Baylor and Miami. His offer sheet included Ole Miss, Arkansas, Nebraska, North Carolina, Penn State, Duke and Texas Tech. – John Williams, Sooners Wire

With Reggie Powers, the Sooners get a big, tall, fast, athletic and versatile safety prospect. He can play both free safety and in the box. With his size and athleticism, he could be a candidate to work at cheetah in Brent Venables’ defense. – John Williams, Sooners Wire
K.J. Daniels - 3-Star WR - Franklinton, Louisiana - Signed
Explosive. Speed. Competitive.

Considered a three-star prospect, Kelly Daniels is truly a big play waiting to happen. Whether in the passing game or the running game, he is a cheat code with his ability to accelerate and break away from defenders. He’ll be an impact player for the Sooners on the outside but could carve out a role in the slot as he continues to refine his game. – John Williams, Sooners Wire
James Nesta - 4-Star LB - Cornelius, North Carolina - SIGNED
Violent. Aggressive. Athletic.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
He stands 6 feet, 5 inches, and his Hough High School team featured a fearsome defense partly due to his ability to play in space as a traditional linebacker and on the edge, rushing the passer. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire
Xavier Robinson - 3-Star RB - Midwest City, Oklahoma - SIGNED
Toughness. Physicality. Relentless.

Xavier Robinson burst on the scene after an incredible junior season in which he rushed for 2,594 yards and 39 TDs on 9.4 yards per carry. He had another fantastic season in 2023, securing Max Preps Oklahoma Prep Player of the Year. After receiving substantial interest nationally, he committed to the Sooners. – Jaron Spor, Sooners Wire
Wyatt Gilmore - 4-Star Edge - Rogers, Minnesota - SIGNED
Aggressive. Relentless. Passionate.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Wyatt Gilmore is someone Oklahoma Sooners fans are going to love. He plays with a high motor and is constantly around the ball and making plays. He most likely will spend the 2024 campaign developing his body and getting bigger for the 2025 season. But he could become a rotation piece in 2024 because of how hard he plays. – Jaron Spor, Sooners Wire
Ivan Carreon - 4-Star WR - Odessa, Texas - SIGNED
Tough. Physical. Finesse.
Welcome to the Gold Standard, @IvanCarreonWR1 🧬 https://t.co/JXiyhUVVgW | #24K pic.twitter.com/9uN8u4x23k
— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
The first thing you notice about Ivan Carreon on the football field is his size. At 6 feet, 6 inches, he towers over defensive backs. But that’s not all he is. Carreon is a smooth route runner who has a full route tree to work with. He can win after the catch with great lateral agility for a player his size and has tremendous breakaway speed. – John Williams, Sooners Wire
Zion Kearney - 4-Star WR - Missouri City, Texas - SIGNED
Elite. Leader. Competitive.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Kearney also runs track, and his ability to get up to top speed in the open field is evident on tape. During his junior season, he posted 100-meter times of 10.89 and 10.98 in February. In the fall, he was a unanimous selection to Texas District 20-6A first-team after tallying 39 catches for 765 yards and eight touchdowns in 2022. Kearney also displays an ability to operate as a big slot or out wide. From the slot, he caught bubble screens or ran drags that allowed him to utilize his speed and frame to be a huge target for his quarterback while on the move. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire
Jayden Jackson - 4-Star DT - Bradenton, Florida - SIGNED
Let’s work I’m all in ⭕️❤️ https://t.co/0VDIgvW8Ar
— Jayden Jackson (@JaydenJackson65) December 20, 2023
In Jayden Jackson, the Oklahoma Sooners landed a legit nose tackle that will offer production as both a run-stuffer and pass rusher. Jackson possesses an impressive first step and is able to bully interior offensive linemen. He has the quickness and agility to dart into the backfield and disrupt the play. – John Williams, Sooners Wire
Zion Ragins, 4-Star WR - Gray, Georgia - SIGNED
Explosive. Dynamic. Competitive.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Zion Ragins is a state champion sprinter in the 100-meter dash. On the football field, he is simply a player who needs the ball in his hands. It doesn’t matter how, but get him the ball and let him do his thing. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire
Mykel Patterson-McDonald - Rivals 4-Star Safety - Moore, Oklahoma - SIGNED
Blessed all thanks to the man above LOCKED IN 10000% @OU_Football pic.twitter.com/IKm3swMuOR
— Mykel Patterson-McDonald (@KelGonGetLive) December 20, 2023
Mykel Patterson-McDonald is an aggressive safety who attacks the ball in the air. He’s a willing tackler, playing with speed and physicality in run support. – John Williams, Sooners Wire
Danny Okoye - 4-Star edge - Tulsa, Oklahoma - Signed
Dynamic. Versatile. Aggressive.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Danny Okoye has all of the physical tools to make an immediate impact at Oklahoma. You worry about the competition he played in high school, but the tools are there. He could be a situational pass rusher for them in 2024 and has a very bright future. – Jaron Spor, Sooners Wire
Brenden Zurbrugg - 3-Star QB - Alliance, Ohio - SIGNED
Arm talent. Accuracy. Leadership.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Zurbrugg stands 6-foot-3 and will graduate from Alliance High School as the program’s all-time leader in passing yards, completions, completion percentage and passing touchdowns. As a senior in 2023, he was an all-state first-team performer. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire
Josh Aisosa - 3-Star OT - Santa Fe, Edmond, Oklahoma - SIGNED
Winner. Physical. Competitive.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Aisosa is a 6-foot-4 and 305-pound offensive lineman who will probably play guard at Oklahoma. He also has a wrestling background, which usually pays dividends for offensive linemen. Creed Humphrey is a name that comes to mind. – Jaron Spor, Sooners Wire
Nigel Smith - 4-Star DL - Melissa, Texas - SIGNED
Athletic. Powerful. Precision.

Power is Nigel Smith’s calling card. He uses excellent raw strength to bull rush opponents. Smith plans to enroll early, so he’ll be on campus when Oklahoma starts winter ball in January. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire
Michael Hawkins - 4-Star QB - Frisco, Texas - SIGNED
Athletic. Leadership. Intelligence.

Michael Hawkins is an Oklahoma legacy by way of his father, who played defensive back at Oklahoma under Brent Venables. The younger Hawkins is a surgical passer who has steadily improved over the last two years. In his senior season, he put up video game numbers. He accounted for over 50 touchdowns and fewer than seven turnovers in 2023. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire
Eddy Pierre-Louis - 4-star OL - Tampa, Florida - SIGNED
Athletic. Relentless. Physicality.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
The 6-foot-3, 335-pound guard is a freak of nature. Eddy Pierre-Louis recorded 25 reps at 225 pounds on the bench press at a camp last summer. That would have been 16th most at the NFL combine by an offensive lineman in 2023. He ran a 12.97 100-meter dash in high school as well. – Jaron Spor, Sooners Wire
Eli Bowen - 4-Star CB (Rivals) - Guyer, Denton, Texas - SIGNED
Versatile. Leader. Competitor.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Eli Bowen is the younger brother of Peyton Bowen, but he is no slouch himself. He’s a four-star cornerback who is 5-foot-9 and weighs 165 pounds. He plays bigger than his size suggests. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire
Devon Jordan - 4-Star CB - Union High, Tulsa, Oklahoma - SIGNED
Work ethic. Athleticism. Confidence.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Jordan has great speed. In fact, 247Sports reported he ran a wind-aided 10.71 100 meters and 21.93 200 meters as a junior in the spring of 2023 at the OSAA 6A regional meet. He placed fifth at the OSAA 6A meet in the 100 with a wind-legal 10.91. Speed is something the Sooners can use in the secondary. – Jaron Spor, Sooners Wire
Michael Boganowski - 4-Star ATH - Junction City, Kansas - SIGNED
Disciplined. Athletic. Dominating.
Welcome to the Gold Standard, @mboganowski45 🧬 https://t.co/837scPSrte | #24K pic.twitter.com/P8dBW1ugpC
— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
He dominated at 6 feet, 2 inches and 205 pounds at Junction City (Kansas) High School and was initially recruited as a safety. It’s safe to say he’ll get his first crack in college as a safety as well, but because of his frame, he could slide down, bulk up and play linebacker or he could end up at the most versatile spot on the defense, cheetah. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire
Jeremiah Newcombe - 4-star CB - Queen Creek, Arizona - SIGNED
Footwork. Athleticism. Intelligence.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
A consensus four-star prospect, Newcombe is the No. 27 cornerback in the 2024 recruiting cycle. A two-way player for Casteel, Newcombe is a really good athlete who will continue to improve as he matures physically. – John Williams, Sooners Wire
Jaydan Hardy - 4-star Safety - Lewisville, Texas - SIGNED
Athleticism. Intelligence. Physicality.
Welcome to the Gold Standard, @jaydan_hardy 🧬 https://t.co/FJtBhpv6Zy | #24K pic.twitter.com/guZ2q64cst
— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Jaydan Hardy is a versatile safety who’s shown the ability to play cornerback, in the box or as the deep safety. His athleticism landed him a two-way role for the Lewisville Farmers, with whom he also lined up at wide receiver. – John Williams, Sooners Wire
Davon Mitchell - 4-star Tight End - Los Alamitos, California - SIGNED
Monster. Elite. Athleticism.

— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
Davon Mitchell was considered a five-star prospect and the No. 1 tight end in the 2025 class before reclassifying to 2024. Mitchell could compete for significant playing time right away. – Jaron Spor, Sooners Wire
David Stone - 5-star DL - Bradenton Florida - SIGNED
Leader. Powerful. Dynamic.

He stands 6 feet, 4 inches and carries 280 pounds effortlessly. With that frame, he could certainly add more mass. That size, combined with elite athleticism, technique, charisma and production at the highest levels of high school football, is unmatched. He’s the crown jewel of the 2024 recruiting class and should see snaps as soon as next year. – Bryant Crews, Sooners Wire
Isaiah Autry - 3-star OL - Fulton, Mississippi - SIGNED
Athletic. Competitive. Strategic.
Welcome to the Gold Standard, @IsaiahAutry1 🧬 https://t.co/jyOF06lZyu | #24K pic.twitter.com/0Ju3kRt9WM
— Oklahoma Football (@OU_Football) December 20, 2023
As the No. 1 offensive tackle in the state of Mississippi, Autry has good technique and displays great strength. Once he latches on to a rusher, he stops them in his tracks. His 6-foot-7 frame provides good reach to prevent rushers from getting in on his body, allowing Autry to maintain leverage. He drives his feet as a run blocker, continuing his blocking assignment well after the ball carrier has broken through to the second level. – John Williams, Sooners Wire
Eugene Brooks - 4-Star OL - Chatsworth, California - SIGNED
Powerful. Winner. Competitive.

He’s the No. 5 interior offensive lineman nationally, according to 247Sports, and the No. 14 player in the state of California. He’s a strong player who has the size to step in and be a difference-maker early in his Sooners career. – John Williams, Sooners Wire
Taylor Tatum - 5-Star RB - Longview, Texas - SIGNED
