Relationships with Oklahoma staff stood out to Lewis Carter

“Overall just the love from the staff in general from the assistants to strength and conditioning to the head coach,” Carter said. “Coach V and the defensive staff all kept in touch with me, and my parents a good amount throughout these last few weeks.”

“I didn’t communicate with the whole staff at many other schools so it meant a lot for me to be able to speak with the OU family.”

The sunshine state linebacker joins Oklahoma’s No. 12 class in the 2023 team rankings alongside Jackson Arnold, Jaquaize Pettaway, and others.

Carter ranks as the No. 172 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting sites. He also tabs in as the No. 12 linebacker and the No. 37 player in the state of Florida.
