The writing had been on the wall for a while, and 2017 LB Levi Draper made official what many were expecting.

Oklahoma adds arguably the top OK Preps prospect in the 2017 class and another talented player to an already impressive class, considering how early it is in terms of 2017 recruiting.

Doesn’t really sound like a guy that is leaving, huh?
GREAT NEWS!!!!
Welcome young man. Glad to see your DNA test came back positive. You have that #OUDNA
#OUDNA
great news!
Levi Draper is good but Jayden Benway from Altus returned an interception 101 yds for a score it was his 15th interception of the year.
Love seeing my home boys in the Crimson!
🙂 loved the last weeks with my homies. Well except yesterday’s outcome
Woot!!!
Boom!
Welcome Levi
Welcome Levi, you made the right choice!
Right now we’re the hot team in recruiting. Hopefully we carry this all the way to the 2017 signing day.
The 2017 class seems like is going to be pretty salty as this year’s.
Boom! What a great start to the 2017 class.
Congratulations on your commitment Levi Draper and greetings.
Oh this defense is gonna be so much fun to watch for years and years to come now. BOOMER
Sweet!
Very big get. Plucked one from the bad guys…+1 for the good guys.
The next Calmus?
That has always been my comparison.
Awesome choice by an awesome young man!
Yessir!!! Welcome Mr. Draper
BOOM!!!!!! Great choice and welcome to Sooner Nation, Levi Draper! You won’t be sorry and neither will we.
Excellent decision by OU to get this kid on board. He looks like another Jordan Evans.
Are we thinking he will be an ILB? Who would you compare him to?
Like mentioned below he seems to have that Calmus structure. Was listed in the Tulsa World as 6-3/230. Calmus was a missile looking for a place to destroy. The 2017 class is looking great.I think the 2016 will be a top class also.
Wow, if he is already 230 he will be a best after a year in the program. Any idea what his 40 time is? I know, it is not that big od a deal with a ILB but I am curious.
In the 4.5’s I believe.
The 2017 class is really off to a good start.
QB- Chris Robison, Mesquite, Tx. 6-2/183
Safety- Robert Barnes,Southlake, Tx. 6-2/185
ILB- Levi Draper, Collinsville, Ok. 6-3/230.
For the star watchers they are all listed as 4-stars.
Shaping up to be a good one.
I can’t remember the last time (if ever) a class started out that good that early.
Steven good, RJ Washington, and a couple of running backs that later transfered Justin Gilmer being one.
Justin Johnson from Gilmer, related to Manny
I’ve seen various sizes listed for Draper from 6-1, 210 to this one above…..??
He’s a legit 6’3. Not sure how listings work… But
He’s tall and lanky. Schmitty will love this kid. Collinsville has 4 returning offensive lineman next year (avg. 6-5/285) plus their qb and 2 wr’s.
Welcome aboard to the OU team for 2017. Will be watching you play next year. I have 2 grandsons that play for Skiatook Bulldogs. Congrats on an excellent season.
Many were upset when he, originally, committed to OSU, threw fits, and thought so poorly of the OU coaches.
Lesson: patience and stoicism.
stoicism sounds spanish. Is that spanish?
Greek, I believe. A philosophical school holding that denial of emotion is the highest evolution in human thinking
Or so I recall after lots of drinks
Nah, I don’t believe that.
Some things are under our control. Some things are not. Emotions are under our control. External events (nature) are not.
German.. For “whale’s vagina…”
Now this seems legit.
Greek in origin…….dates back to the time before the Roman Empire……

Love it. Oklahoma born and Oklahoma bred !!
The only Oklahoma.
Welcome to the OU family (from a Collinsville Cardinal, class of ’62).
And from a Cardinal from the class of ’96!
And class of 90…. Pretty sure my mama was 62.. Could’ve been 64 tho
So JJ, that makes me old enought to be your…uhhh….ummmm…uhh older sibling.
Success on the field most generally equates to a good recruiting class. Everyone want to play for a winner.
Welcome to the family Levi Draper! Just remember put in the work and you will be king!!!
Went and watched him today in Yukon (live in Yukon, graduated from Yukon, both my sons go to Yukon) and that’s who he reminds me of is Calumas and a little bit of Lehman! If he does what he needs to he’s gonna be a badass…
Levi Draper is awesome and a great prospect but Robert Barnes is being heavily slept on
No he isn’t it’s just Draper is the new toy think TFB have made it very clear Barnes will be a stud, just the new name and in state kid does generate some excitement
Levi Draper is awesome and a great prospect but Robert Barnes is being heavily slept on
Watching Levi’s HUDL video. He reminds me of one mister Rocky Calmus
This is a good get for us. Any more possible flips out there for us?
For 2017 who knows at this point but I’m sure we will. For the rest of the 2016 class I think bucannon might be the only flip remaining.
Great choice, go live your dream kid
Welcome!
What’s the word on Bundage? Haven’t heard much lately,
Welcome to OUr school! We look forward to seeing you play as a Sooner. Take care of school and we’ll look for you in a year or a year and a half.
