Two Linebackers Include OSU in Top Group, Another Announces Commitment Date

Bryan Nardo and his defensive staff have set a good pace in 2024 recruiting, and there is reason to believe the Cowboys aren’t slowing down.

Of the Cowboys’ seven commits in the 2024 cycle, the top four (according to 247) are defensive prospects, and OSU’s new defensive coordinator has already teased two upcoming commitments. There is some intrigue among Rice defensive line commit Armstrong Nnodim, who earned an offer at OSU’s camp last week, but there are also a three linebackers who have OSU ties trending toward the end of their recruitment.
