Elite 2024 linebacker Colin Simmons offered by Oklahoma

As a sophomore, Duncanville (Texas) linebacker Colin Simmons is still early in his recruiting process. But his recruitment is beginning to take off. After picking up nearly a half-dozen offers in the month of January, Simmons added another big one on Tuesday when Oklahoma extended an offer.

“After an amazing conversation with the Oklahoma coaching staff I am extremely blessed to receive an offer from the University of Oklahoma #BoomerSooner,” Simmons wrote on Twitter.

The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder is the No. 7 overall prospect in the 2024 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 2 linebacker and the No. 3 sophomore prospect in the state of Texas.

In addition to the Sooners, Simmons holds offer from Baylor, Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Nebraska, Kansas State, Arizona and more than a dozen others. He visited the Aggies and Longhorns in January, and also made a trip to Arkansas this past weekend.

As a sophomore in his first varsity season, Colin Simmons notched 68 tackles, 12 sacks and three forced fumbles for Duncanville, which finished as the runner-up in Conference 6A-Division I, Texas’ top classification.
