Oklahoma Sooners Football Recruiting / 2016 LB Recruiting Board

It's seems to be preety obvious that the Sooners will need to land at least 4 linebackers in the class of 2016. We thought we would take a moment to give you an overview of where linebacker recruiting stands just as the dust has settled on the class of 2015. We will also make predictions on a way too early class of 2016 linebacker commitments.

1. Calvin Bundage 6-3/200 from Edmond, OK @bundage27
