Minnesota’s Second Best Football Player Commits to Oklahoma Sooners
Exciting news! Wyatt Gilmore, who is considered the second-best high school football player in Minnesota for the class of 2024, has decided to play for the University of Oklahoma. He made the announcement on Wednesday night.
Gilmore had offers from many other good schools like Minnesota, Miami, Oregon, Kansas State, Iowa, Nebraska, Purdue, and Wisconsin. But he ultimately chose Oklahoma, which is a big achievement for the university.

He’s a really talented player who can play as both an edge rusher and a tight end. He’s rated as a four-star recruit and is highly respected not just in Minnesota but across the country. According to 247Sports, he’s the second-best player in Minnesota for his class, right after Koi Perich, who plays safety for Esko and has already committed to the Gophers.
Different ranking systems can have different opinions, though. Rivals, for example, thinks Gilmore is the third-best player in Minnesota, with Emerson Mandell from Irondale and Jide Abasiri from Prior Lake being ahead of him. Mandell hasn’t decided on a college yet, but Abasiri has already committed to the Gophers.
Gilmore is not only great at football but also physically impressive. According to his Twitter bio, he can bench-press 370 pounds, squat 485 pounds, jump really far (9’10”), and run the 40-yard dash in 4.78 seconds. It’s pretty amazing for a guy who’s 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 250 pounds.
This commitment from Wyatt Gilmore is a big win for the University of Oklahoma. Fans of the Sooners can look forward to seeing his incredible skills and how he contributes to the team’s success in the coming seasons.
