Oklahoma Sooners pick up commitment from 4-Star safety Mykel Patterson-McDonald
Is there any team hotter on the recruiting trail than the Oklahoma Sooners? Whether it’s 2024 or 2025, the Sooners are simply on fire.
That trend continued Monday night as they land the commitment of 2024 Rivals four-star safety Mykel Patterson-McDonald.
The Westmoore standout is the 17th commitment in the 2024 class and is the second safety, joining four-star Lewisville, Texas prospect Jaydan Hardy.
Patterson-McDonald is on the smaller side. He’s about 5-foot-10 and weighs just under 180 pounds.
But he makes up for it with his impressive athleticism, competitiveness, and aggressive ball skills. Like several Oklahoma commitments in this cycle, he also competes in track and field.
He ran a 22.67 200-meter dash and hit 21-9 in the long jump this spring as a junior.

He finished his junior season with 108 tackles, eight pass breakups, and three interceptions.
This recruitment was a big one in multiple ways because Patterson-McDonald is also a close friend of five-star defensive lineman David Stone who announces his commitment on Aug. 26, 2023.
However, Patterson-McDonald is no slouch himself. He’s a competitive player that will add an edge to the secondary.
This is another big win for safeties coach Brandon Hall. He’s done a fantastic job on the recruiting trail, helping the Sooners land a number of blue
The Sooners had to fight off the UNLV Rebels, Missouri Tigers and the Houston Cougars.
The Sooners currently sit in the top 20 across the board in team recruiting rankings.
