It’s never over till it’s actually over, but as of right now, Oklahoma football has lost the battle, if not the war, in its serious quest for the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2024 class nationally.
On Monday, five-star defensive lineman Williams Nwaneri, a top recruiting target for the Oklahoma football program for the entire 2023 recruiting cycle and the No. 1 player in the 2024 class nationally turned the other cheek and committed to former Big 12 and future SEC foe Missouri.
The 6-foot, 5-inch, 250-pound Nwaneri, out of Lee’s Summit North High School in the Greater Kansas City area, announced his commitment in a brief public ceremony at the high school.
