Sooners receive prediction for talented 2024 offensive lineman
After the last few days, the 2025 recruiting class is getting all of the spotlight as they’ve vaulted up to number three nationally after the commitments of Ka’Mori Moore and Elijah Thomas. But the Sooners are still in the midst of closing out what .
One name that has popped up recently is offensive lineman Daniel Akinkunmi. Akinkunmi is a part of the NFL Academy in London, England. He’s a raw player but someone who possesses a ton of talent.
He’s a versatile athlete that can play guard or tackle but most likely will find himself playing guard for the Sooners.
He’s 6-foot-4 and weighs 295 pounds. For a while, it has felt like the Temple Owls were the leader in his recruitment, but the Sooners have been picking up steam. Temple Insider Ryan Wallen issued a Crystal Ball favoring the Oklahoma Sooners.
After the crystal ball was released on Thursday, Akinkunmi shared his top 10 on Friday, narrowing his recruitment. The Oklahoma Sooners were included alongside Baylor, Georgia Tech, Boston College, Minnesota, Duke, Ole Miss, Marshall, Arkansas, and Washington State.

Akinkunmi only started playing football just a little more than a year ago, but his athleticism is impressive, and he has an incredible upside.
Combine that with the potential to be coached by one of the best offensive line coaches in America, and he’s got a good chance to develop into something special.
This would be a perfect player to add to this offensive line class. The class was at one point struggling, but has gained some momentum in recent weeks with the commitment of Eugene Brooks and predictions favoring the Sooners for Josh Aisosa.
He would be the project of the group. With all of the young talented offensive linemen on campus, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Given the amount of upside he possesses, he’s certainly worth a roster spot.
