Danny Stutsman selected for Walter Camp preseason first team All-American honor

Oklahoma Sooners linebacker Danny Stutsman has been recognized for his impressive skills on the football field. Recently, he was named a preseason Walter Camp first-team All-American, adding to the list of accolades he has received ahead of the 2024 season.

In 2023, Stutsman led the Sooners in tackles with 104, 16 of which were for a loss. He also recorded three sacks, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery, in addition to a memorable pick-six against Tulsa. Despite missing some games due to injury, Oklahoma had a 10-1 record in games started and finished by Stutsman.

Stutsman is not only praised for his statistics but also for his leadership qualities. These make him a crucial presence in the locker room as the team transitions to the SEC. As a veteran player, his decision to return for another season is seen as an important asset for the Sooners.

Stutsman’s impact on the field has been instrumental in the success of Oklahoma’s defense, particularly under new defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Zac Alley. With his familiarity with the defensive system, Stutsman is positioned as a key player for the team.

Brent Venables’ influence on the Sooners has also played a significant role in Stutsman’s development. It is expected that Stutsman will continue to receive recognition on preseason All-America teams as the season approaches.
