Four-star OL Daniel Cruz down to four schools; Oklahoma Sooners in the mix

||


Bill Bedenbaugh has filled his recruiting board with several offensive line options. From tackles to guards all across the nation, Bedenbaugh’s cast a wide net. For many rising senior prospects, summertime is a time to lock in on the recruiting process and narrow things down.

247Sports composite four-star Daniel Cruz is one of those prospects. Cruz, a projected guard at the next level, has narrowed down his collegiate choices and intends to begin taking official visits this month.

Ohio State, Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M were included in Cruz’s top four schools. Texas is the perceived leader according to a crystal ball prediction from 247Sports from national recruiting analyst Mike Roach.

Cruz visited Ohio State last weekend and plans to be in College Station for his official visit with the Aggies this weekend. Two weekends later, he’ll make his way to Austin, where he’ll have his official visit with the Longhorns.

Cruz plans to commit in July, so this month is the final month for teams to make an impression or any late movement before the final decision. Oklahoma would probably slot fourth on the totem pole here with their Big 12 rivals leading this race. Crazier things have happened, and it is hard to discount Bill Bedenbaugh’s ability to sell Oklahoma with his ability to develop young linemen into NFL-caliber offensive line.

If Cruz does commit elsewhere, Oklahoma has a wide-open board with multiple prospects they could pivot to.
