The Path to Norman
The coaching staff was a big factor in Sylvie’s decision to join the Sooners. Offered along with some of his Louisiana high school teammates, Chanse made several trips to Norman. His relationship with Coach Cooks and Coach Viney, recently returned to the OU staff, ultimately won him over to OU.
Sylvie ended up being a big force in the recruiting game for the Sooners, letting others know that they ought to join him in Norman. His ability to create relationships with players and staff is still showing today.

2018 Season
Unfortunately, Sylvie is currently recovering from an achilles injury and is expected to miss the entire season. This is certainly a shame for him, as he had appeared to be on a path toward starting. The depth at safety has taken a hit recently with the injuries to both Prentice McKinney and Sylvie. Hopefully, Sylvie can get back to 100% this season (which will presumably be a redshirt season) and return next year ready to play.
