The Path to Norman

David Stone was a member of the 2024 recruiting class. A native of the Sooner state, Stone played high school football at Del City for two seasons before switching to IMG Academy for his final two. The elite defensive lineman was a 5* player and one of the top 10 highest-ranked recruits ever to sign with OU. He had his choice in program, with offers from almost the entire country. Stone’s top six included OU, Michigan State, Miami, Oregon, Alabama, and Texas A&M. Stone committed in August 2023 and was part of an incredible DL class for the Sooners.

Career so Far

Stone played in every game as a true freshman. He showed plenty of promise as he eased into the college game.

After briefly entering the portal in the spring after his freshman season, Stone decided to stick with the Sooners.

This Season

The Sooners’ interior line looks to be one of its best units this fall and one of the top in the country. Jayden Jackson, Damonic Williams, Gracen Halton, and Stone make up the two-deep. Stone has enjoyed an extremely impressive offseason and looks primed to take a step forward this year. Sooner fans are glad to have Stone back and should expect big things from the big man.
