Florida DL Alton Tarber '1,000% committed' to Oklahoma Sooners
Days after decommitting from Georgia Tech and visiting Oklahoma, Deerfield Beach, Fla., three-star defensive lineman Alton Tarber is now a Sooner.
Alton Tarber announced his pledge to the Sooners with a social media post on Tuesday morning. In the post, he says he is “1,000% committed.”
During the 2020 COVID-19 shortened season, Alton Tarber recorded 28 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss and four sacks.
He ranks as the No. 131 defensive lineman in the country, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
Alton Tarber ranks as the No. 148 player in Florida, per the On3 Consensus.
On3 ranks him around the same. He’s the No. 134 defensive lineman and No. 160 player in Florida, according to On3.
With his commitment to Oklahoma, Alton Tarber becomes the 15th known pledge for the Sooners. He is the second defensive lineman to pick the Sooners in the 2022 class. He received his offer from the Sooners shortly after Oklahoma lost a pledge from five-star defensive lineman Gabriel Brownlow-Dindy.
Brownlow-Dindy was a longtime Sooner commit, but he backed away after Lincoln Riley left for USC. He ended switching his pledge to Texas A&M.
The Sooners currently have the nation’s ninth-ranked recruiting class. He becomes new head coach Brent Venables’ second known commitment since he arrived in Norman.
