The 2023 college football season is just getting underway, but Oklahoma made a big splash on the recruiting trail for the 2024 season. Five-star defensive lineman David Stone committed to the Sooners Saturday over finalists Miami and Michigan State. Stone revealed his decision at halftime of IMG Academy’s nationally televised game against Pennsylvania’s St. Joseph’s Prep.
Stone is the highest-ranked defensive lineman to commit to the Sooners in the Top247 era and the first five star to join their 2024 recruiting class. With Stone in the fold, Oklahoma’s class jumps five spots to No. 11 in the 247Sports Team Composite rankings.
The 6-foot-4 and 270-pound Stone ranks as the No. 10 prospect nationally and No. 3 defensive lineman. He was named a 2022 MaxPreps Junior All-American while starring for national powerhouse IMG Academy, though he actually played at Del City High School in Oklahoma before transferring ahead of his junior season. He took official visits to Florida, Miami, Oklahoma and Michigan State in June. S
