Nigel Smith has formally signed with the Sooners. OU Signing Day Profile
Now that early signing day has arrived, Nigel Smith is formally a Sooner and a member of the OU football team.
Recruits for 2024 can now formally sign their National Letter of Intent with the programme they have committed to, as the early signing period has ended. That entails completing a class that is ranked in the top seven nationally for Oklahoma.
Officially, one of the group’s major names is a Sooner. Nigel Smith has committed and is getting ready to bring his skills to Norman. Here are some details about a defensive front-line player that the OU staff is really excited about:
Defence lineman with a four-star rating on Top247. In the Top247 player rankings, 247Sports ranks Smith as the 142nd overall recruit. He is ranked among the network’s top 25 defensive linemen in the country and among the top 25 players in Texas.
Composite Rankings: Smith is ranked as the 104th overall prospect in the ’24 cycle by the industry-generated composite. He ranks as the No. 19 player in the Lone Star State and among the top-15 defensive linemen in the nation.
Background in recruiting: This candidate was among the first to hear from the Oklahoma staff by phone. Miguel Chavis made Smith his first defensive end offer. From there, Oklahoma continuously gave Smith priority when he examined programmes in the northeast through the south central region. It was fruitful since OU went on to establish themselves as the top team on the board.
Quotes: “People didn’t realise what a great team Brent Venables had or what he was bringing to Norman, but they saw that they made a significant improvement this year. It’s thrilling to think that I’ll be playing for someone like that and the defensive line coaches who will help me grow.”
