After a couple false alarms, 2016 LB Pernell Jefferson (6’3″ 240 – New Orleans, LA) made official today what many have been expecting for awhile after verbally committing to the University of Oklahoma. Which only adds to the recent white-hot recruiting streak OU has been on over the past week plus.

Jefferson joins fellow 2016 linebackers Jon-Michael Terry and Bryce Youngquist in this OU recruiting class, one which could see the Sooners take at least one more LB — barring some type of drastic change, the OU coaches will almost assuredly hold a spot for Caleb Kelly who says he won’t be announcing until NSD — if not possibly two depending on how things shake out.

But as to the matter at hand, Jefferson gives the Sooners yet another talent LB prospect and, perhaps even more importantly, another athlete from ‘The Boot’ as the kids are saying these days.
