Back on May 7, a 6’4”, 230-pound EDGE from Fort Lauderdale, FL, made headlines by naming Oklahoma his leader in a chat with OU Insider. That same night, Sooners defensive ends coach Miguel Chavis was in Florida, spending hours painting the vision of life in crimson and cream. “When I compare these schools,” said the 4-star edge, “I look at who can develop me better as a person—not only on the football field, but off it as well.” And Coach Chavis gave him a clear response. One that hit home. It was a bold move—and it sent a message: Oklahoma made a serious impression.At the time, Daniel Norman had never even stepped foot in Norman, Oklahoma. But one visit changed everything. On June 24, On3’s Hayes Fawcett reported that the 4-star EDGE from Fort Lauderdale had committed to Oklahoma. The Sooners won out over Colorado, Miami, and UCLA. Norman didn’t waste time. He gave his pledge to the staff before even leaving campus during the ChampU BBQ. With his commitment, Oklahoma landed its second defensive end in the 2026 cycle—and added its sixth 4-star to the growing class. One visit. One connection. And one decision. Daniel Norman is all in on the Sooners. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hayes Fawcett (@hayesfawcett3)“I’m beyond grateful for this opportunity, we gone see Norman in Norman.
