North Richland Hills Linebacker Commits to Oklahoma Over Oklahoma State

Four-star outside linebacker DaShaun White had long been wavering on his commitment to Texas A&M dating back to Kevin Sumlin’s ouster and backed away from his pledge on Saturday.

The North Richland Hills product had his wandering eye in the direction of OSU, Texas and OU among potential landing spots, and on Saturday he made it official by flipping his commitment from the Aggies to the Sooners. Once again, it leaves OSU on the outside looking in for a premier linebacker whom the Pokes pursued for months on end.

White made numerous trips to Stillwater and, despite OSU desperate to land an outside-backer who could compete for a spot early, the rival Sooners used Baker Mayfield to help sway him and it was over — just as I anticipated months ago.
