The McCullough brothers, Dasan and Daeh, announced their commitment to Oklahoma Monday night.

The younger McCullough, Daeh, had been committed to Cincinnati since June.

Dasan on why he chose Oklahoma

“Coach Venables’ defensive mind really got my attention,” Dasan said. “How he develops linebackers just like me in a NFL scheme and more importantly he has created a championship culture around the program.”

Daeh McCullough on what stood out about the Sooners

“The whole coaching staff makes me feel at home and have a plan for my football career,” McCullough said. “But even better, they try to set their players up for the best life they can have after football. Coach Valai, Hall and Venables showed me so much love over the phone, and then in person really blew me away with their knowledge of the game. Playing with my brother is a huge factor also, and this is a place that fits both of us.”

They join coach Venables and the Sooners’ Top 8 class in the 2023 team rankings. The McCulloughs are accompanied by Jackson Arnold, Derrick Leblanc, and others.

As a high school recruit, Dasan ranked as the No. 97 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No. 10 EDGE and the No.2 player in the state of Indiana.

Daeh McCullough currently ranks as the No. 350 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting services. He also tabs in as the No.30 safety and the No.4 player in the state of Indiana.
