Stacey McGee commits to Oklahoma
Over the years, the Oklahoma Sooners have become well known for tenacity, toughness, and speed on defense. Unfortunately for them and their head coach, the last few years it seems that their players haven’t looked the same in bowl games as they do during the regular season.
Well, maybe that’s about to change. Just ask Stacey McGee.
Stacey McGee, a 6-foot-5, 255 pound defensive tackle from Muskogee, Oklahoma has verbally committed to play for the Oklahoma Sooners in 2008. Interestingly, he joined his buddy Jameel Owens in committing to the Sooners and head coach Bob Stoops on the same day.
McGee has been unbelievably productive during his high school career. Along with this, he managed to net 91 tackles, two sacks, and two interceptions as a . . .
Oh wait, that was as a sophomore!
As a junior in high school McGee netted 87 tackles on the season. And as a senior, he managed 101 takedowns.
Pretty impressive.
Thus, when you put it altogether Stacey McGee is considered the 86th best overall prospect in the nation according to the 2008 Rivals 100. He’s also considered the fifth best defensive tackle in terms of the pass rush, the third best prospect coming out of all of Oklahoma, and the sixth best defensive tackle in the nation.
In the end, McGee chose the Oklahoma Sooners and head coach Bob Stoops over the Oklahoma State Cowboys, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas Tech Red Raiders, Arkansas Razorbacks, and Kansas State Wildcats.
Interesting. When you look at it, he and teammate Jameel Owens almost had the exact same list of frontrunners when it comes to recruiting. Seems that these two were probably always planning on going to the same school.
Good for Oklahoma fans. Bad for all of the rest of them.
