Oklahoma Sooners star linebacker Danny Stutsman has been recognized for his exceptional talent and leadership by being named a preseason Walter Camp first-team All-American. This honor comes on the heels of an impressive 2023 season where he led the team in tackles with 104, including 16 for a loss. He also recorded three sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery, along with a pick-six against Tulsa. Despite missing some games due to injury, Oklahoma had a 10-1 record when Stutsman started and finished.
Stutsman’s impact extends beyond the stats as he is highly respected for his leadership both on and off the field. His decision to return to college for another season will provide valuable experience and guidance to the team as they transition to a new conference. As one of the top linebackers in college football, Stutsman is a crucial player for new defensive coordinator Zac Alley.
His success on the field can be attributed in part to the influence of coach Brent Venables, who has helped shape him into a standout player. It is likely that Stutsman will continue to receive recognition on preseason All-America teams in the coming months, further solidifying his status as a standout player in college football.
