Not sure how we pulled this kid but lots of P5 offers. If he signs he'll be the highest ranked in the 2023 class.

Listed as WR and that’s his probable position.

His YAC numbers look to be amazing.

Would make one heck of an RB.

As of right now, he is the best true freshman recruit that is committed to a MAC team. The only two recruits that are higher, are two JUCO’s going to Buffalo. I didn’t factor in transfers either so don’t get too upset with me lol.

According to the timeline in 247 cite he had an offer from UT Martin in December and his previous offers we all before his senior season. Makes one wonder if there was an injury issue last season.

Hopefully not. It will be good to get him signed to an NLI.

According to OU Football on Twitter he has signed now.

Quoting from another thread, maybe he visited Athens and fell in love with OHIO. Has happened before. Or, maybe it was the lucrative NIL offer from Burrito Buggy and/or Frank’s Bait Shop.

I'm tellin ya...

WR U.

We're BACK.

But really... hardest part is getting them here.

Step 1... nearly complete.

He'll join the most talented WR room in the MAC, and perhaps OU history - so the good thing is he'll have every chance to learn from some great second year players, a great WR coach and hopefully have Kurtis back to catch some great balls.

We got him. With the other choices he had, I've got to think that Rourke's accuracy, efficiency, and ability to spread the ball around must have been a factor in making him a Bobcat. Who woulda thought we'd get a WR that Coach Prime offered.

According to his signing bio on the team release, he had 39 catches for 936 yards this past season. That's 24 yards per catch. That's absurd.

His school (St Mary's) won back to back state championships, and interestingly the school is currently slated to close their doors at the end of the school year.

Don't know what coach was able to make this connection in St Louis but kudos to the staff for landing such a highly touted recruit in this environment.

Great get but I'm trying to temper my anticipation seeing Hendricks in the Green and White after what transpired with 2022 recruit Dontierre Fisher. Also a 3-star, out-of-state offensive signee, Fisher never played a game as a Bobcat.

He's 5-11. The other offers could have been for the defensive side of the ball.

Looks like his last visit was with Oregon... and then OU really came on late in the year.

So let me attribute this to mid-week MACtion. (Only half-kidding)

But really, you gotta think OU's bowl performance, Fosters catch that was shown millions of times, showing up on those week night games, Rourke/Wigs being at the top of offensive stats for most of the season, Dixon's ability to have Jacoby/Bostic/Cross also all looking like WR1's at varying points in the season had a lot to do with it.

His high school colors are green and white. That's all I'm going to say.

The guy likes consistency — nothing wrong with that! ;-)
