Oklahoma State Lands Commitment From 2024 Choctaw Edge/LB Will Smith

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State football just landed its fourth commitment in the 2024 cycle, and third in-state commitment so far in Choctaw (OK) HS edge/linebacker, Will Smith.

Smith took to Twitter to make the announcement.

He chose the Pokes over offers from Akron, Iowa State and Texas State

Smith checks in at 6-4, 235-pounds and was a catalyst on both sides of the ball for the Yellowjackets this past season. As a junior, he recorded 34 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, seven sacks and 11 quarterback hurries. He also forced four fumbles and recovered two as well.

On the offensive side of the ball, Smith hauled in 21 catches for 445 yards and four touchdowns.

“When you watch him on video the first attribute that pops out is Smith’s speed for his size. Whether he is coming off the edge or sitting back and picks an interior path to attack the opposing backfield he is very fast getting there. His balance is also impressive as he is almost impossible to get off of his feet. Meanwhile, his power is excellent in putting ballcarriers on the ground.”

As mentioned, Smith is the fourth overall commitment in the 2024 class for the Pokes, the second on the defensive side of the ball. He joins Longview (TX) HS cornerback Willie Nelson, who committed last week, Oklahoma City (OK) Southeast running back Rodney Fields and Stillwater (OK) HS TE Josh Ford.

Yeah he deleted the tweet maybe five minutes after he published it. Not sure why, but I already had it up all over Facebook, Twitter and sent out a newsletter before he deleted it. So, there's not much I can do about it now.I suppose I'll just plug the new tweet in when he puts it out again lol.

He does have great footwork… watched him play basketball against EHS about a week ago… is a tough kid, who works his tail off… should be a fun prospect to watch and develop

Good to have a commit from him. His size and tape is encouraging. Will he play EDGE or MLB for us?

Also does this mean we are out of Danny Okoye and Bergin Kysar sweepstakes?
