'24 OK EDGE Danny Okoye (OK commit)

[Vol8188]

Probably really impressive but I don’t have any interest in watching videos of dudes work out.

Would you be more interested if I told you he’s 18 or 17?

Make the case: Okoye’s first trip to Tennessee was back in January when he and a couple of buddies drove to Knoxville by themselves from Tulsa. His next was a solo trip where he got plenty of time with the staff and current Vols. He got to spend time with fellow midwestern defensive lineman Chandavian Bradley. The best thing going for Tennessee is the momentum they got from this past trip with an official visit looking like it will take place in late September.

Take: Tennessee carries the momentum in this one and again it’s big to have that official visit in their hip pocket. Okoye is as impressive of a young man as I’ve been around with one heck of a radio voice if football doesn’t pan out. The Vols will have to hold their momentum but I definitely think it’s doable.

Dang, call the guy ugly before he even officially visits.

I want us to land this guy. Just seems like his best football is in front of him. I think he would be a super solid edition.GBO!

Beyond solid. JMO but I think this kid has All-SEC, first round potential.

We're on the same page. I've been super high on this kid since his thread was first started.

[jvols1999]

Wish he'd push his timeline up and go public

 

[bignewt]

well he won't so you gonna have to deal

 

[Big Orange Rob]

Maybe we can keep the momentum and eventually sign this kid since we are apparently going to whiff on most of the other big time DL studs we have been recruiting.

Okoye randomly posting videos when he visited UT. Not a bad thing

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I feel like he’s a Vol

Hi Latavion

If we get/got all of Matthews, Bates, Warren and Spillman, AP thinks Okoye is the most important player left on the board

Must mean they hold him in higher regard than Ross.

What about Ross or Franklin

This appears to be a fact. Both important for sure, however, Ross is undersized and that's a concern.

I like this kid's film. I just have to remind myself he is playing against homeschoolers in Oklahoma. He plays really high because he can. It's easy to push around 5'11" 225 lb OL. He will not see action immediately if he comes. Needs a lot of work. But, CRG is the guy to make him what he needs to be by his junior year. But...he is really, really raw. Ceiling is incredible though.

He didn’t mention those. Maybe the staff likes him better than Ross? Obviously you take both if you can

He's raw from a technique perspective. Physically, he's SEC ready right now. He would be pushing for major PT after a RS season. IMHO.

Ross is undersized? He’s 6’4 230.
