Okla, a three-star recruit in the Class of 2022, is a native of Hartland, Wisconsin, and was an all-state first-team selection during his senior year of high school.

After initially choosing Illinois, Okla is returning home with three years of eligibility remaining, providing some much-needed depth for the Badgers offensive line.
