Stutsman picked the Sooners from more than 20 Power Five offers, which he had narrowed down to a final six of OU, Oklahoma State, Texas A&M, Minnesota, West Virginia and Virginia Tech
“Quite frankly, the way the whole recruiting process went [with OU] was just a whole other level compared to all the rest of the schools,” Stutsman said. “You could really tell I was a player of high interest and definitely a player they wanted, and that’s really what stood out to me."
Stutsman’s recruitment to OU has mostly been handled by Sooners’ inside linebackers coach Brian Odom, who really sold Stutsman on the program.
