Oklahoma football loses 3-star WR following
Oklahoma football just lost a 3-star commit amid Jeff Lebby’s hiring as the new head coach of Mississippi State.
“After careful consideration and reflection, I have made the decision to recommit to the University of Oklahoma. This choice is not made lightly. I’d like to thank OU and the coaching staff for the incredible opportunity given to me.”
Following the appointment of Jeff Lebby as the Mississippi State Bulldogs’ next head coach, Ezukanma made his choice. Under Brent Venables, Lebby oversaw Oklahoma football’s offensive coordinatorship from the 2022 season until the 2023 regular season.
For Oklahoma football, the hope is that no one pursues Ezukanma once more in the open recruiting field. According to 247 Sports, the Sooners currently have 27 “hard commits” for the 2024 campaign, including two 5-stars, 16 four-stars, and 19 three-stars.
Ezukanma could potentially land next at one of the schools that showed interest in him before committing to the Sooners. Apart from Oklahoma football, he also got offers from the likes of the Arizona Wildcats, Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats, Texas Tech Red Raiders, Texas &M Aggies, Oregon Ducks, and Miami Hurricanes.
Amid Ezukanma’s decommitment, the Sooners, virtually out of the race to the College Football Playoff, managed to finish the 2023 college football regular season with a 10-2 overall record and 7-2 slate in conference play.
