Class of 2024 wide receiver KJ Daniels of Franklinton (LA) High announced his commitment to Oklahoma Monday night.

The 5-foot-10, 153 pounder chose the Sooners over Tulane, Cincinnati, and others.

Daniels on why he chose Oklahoma

“The coaching staff stood out to me a lot! I love the way they coach and handle their players. They make sure you’re good on and off the field. Also I liked the way they used Marvin Mims and they relate me to him.  I think I’m a perfect fit for them. They’re also a very great program and they are building a dominant team and I’m ready to be part of it. Also, the atmosphere behind Oklahoma is great. They show actual support and love.

Relationship with coaching staff + their plan for KJ Daniels

“Me and Coach Emmett have a very strong relationship. My guy Benton Duby as well i spend a lot of time talking to him. And Coach V is a great coach. I talk to him as well. I feel I have a very strong bond with them and as well as the rest of the staff too.”

The Louisiana wide receiver joins coach Brent Venables and the Sooners’ 2024 class. He is accompanied by Michael Hawkins and Jeremiah Newcombe.

Daniels currently has an On3 NIL Valuation of $5.8K. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.
