Nik Bonitto, a 6-2, 200-pound outside linebacker from Florida, announced his pledge to play football at Oklahoma during Thursday night’s Under Armour All-American football game.

“Coach (Lincoln) Riley is really building something special over there,” Bonitto said during the third quarter of the high-school all-star game. "And just to be a part of that is a blessing itself. I can't wait to be in Norman for the next three-to-four years."

The Class of 2018 recruit chose the Sooners over Louisville and Texas.

Bonitto, a consensus four-star recruit, has been under the tutelage of Fort Lauderdale St.
