Oklahoma Sooners Football Recruiting / Mulitple New Linebacker Offers Go Out

The Sooners are scouring the nation for linebackers in the class of 2016. Yesterday they landed their first linebacker commit in the class of 2016 in Jon-Michael Terry.  Terry appears to be the first of many in the class of 2016. The Sooners have continued to evaluate prospects and these evaluations have resulted in 3 new offers in the past 24 hours. Here are the players:

Marvin Terry 6-2/225 from South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, TX

OFFERS: Ark, Cal, Louisville, TCU, Oregon, SMU, UCLA, TTech, Wisconsin, and now the Sooners.

While Barnes and Laguins would appear to be longshots because of location, I believe the Sooners have a more than decent chance at a player like Terry. The Sooners need a minimum of 4 linebacker commits for the class of 2016, but ideally would land 5. Ideally the Sooners would land 3 outside linebackers and 2 inside linebackers.
