Social Media Reacts: Danny Stutsman announces return to Sooners for 2024
The Oklahoma Sooners got huge news on Monday when Danny Stutsman announced his return for the 2024 season. With Stutsman and Billy Bowman returning for 2024, the Sooners have their two best defenders from 2023 coming back.
Stutsman, a first-team All-Big 12 selection and AP third-team All-American will anchor a defense that improved dramatically in 2023 and has the young talent that could help it take another step in 2024.
In his announcement, Stutsman fully leaned into his relationship with Sooners legend Brian Bosworth, who made a cameo in his announcement video that took social media by storm.
As the Sooners prepare for the Alamo Bowl and then the offseason, they can feel even more confident about the direction the team is heading as it embarks on its first season in the SEC.
Danny Stutsman was one of the best linebackers in college football in 2023 and will be on the shortlist for every major defensive award in 2024.
As we revel in Stutsmanβs return, letβs take a look at some of the best social media reactions from his announcement.
He's BAAAAAAACK!!!

Incredible for the Sooners Defense
I donβt think it can be measured how big it is that Danny Stutsman and Billy Bowman will return to Norman in 2024. Both will be candidates to compete for the Butkus and Thorpe Awards, respectively. Massive, massive news.
