Oklahoma Sooners star player Danny Stutsman has been named a preseason Walter Camp First Team All-American, adding to the many accolades he has received ahead of the 2024 season. This honor is a testament to his exceptional performance on the field and his leadership both on and off it.
In 2023, Stutzman was a key player for the Sooners, leading the team with 104 tackles, 16 of which were lost. He also recorded three sacks, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery, along with a pick-six against Tulsa. Despite missing some games due to injury, Oklahoma was 10-1 when Stutzman started and finished.
Stutzman’s success on the field can be attributed in part to the influence of coach Brent Venables. It’s likely that he will continue to receive recognition on preseason All-America teams in the coming months, further cementing his status as a standout player in college football.
As one of the best players in college football, Stutzman is a valuable asset for the Sooners. His knowledge of the defensive system and his role as a leader make him a key player for new defensive coordinator Zach Ali. In addition to his statistics, Stutzman is known for his leadership both on and off the field. His decision to return to college for another season will provide the team with a veteran presence in the locker room, especially as they move to a new conference.
