OU football: LaRon Stokes Jr. saw what he needed before committing to dream school

Oklahoma was his dream school, but LaRon Stokes Jr. needed better justification before such a big decision.

After taking official visits to Oklahoma State and Oregon, the junior college defensive lineman from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M committed to OU on Sunday night following a weekend trip to Norman.

“I was just making sure it was everything I thought it was,” Stokes told The Oklahoman. “And it was.”

Stokes, 6-foot-4 and 245-pounds, will enroll at OU in January and be with the Sooners for spring football. He has two years of eligibility left after playing two seasons at NEO.
