Oklahoma has what safety Niko Jandreau wants in a school, so he committed to the Sooners

Chandler (Ari.) Hamilton safety Niko Jandreau had official visits lined up to Oregon State, USC, Washington and Oklahoma, but he is not planning to only check out Norman on June 20.

After visiting Oklahoma this spring and building strong relationships with Brent Venables and his staff, he has committed to the Sooners.

“I have always wanted to play in the SEC or the Big Ten because that is where college football is going and I love what Oklahoma is doing,” Jandreau told On3. “The SEC has the highest production, they have great players and I like their staff a lot.

“When I was breaking down schools, faith is very important and the right culture is what I have always been looking for. Oklahoma is strong in both of those. Winning is important too, and I am looking to be developed. Oklahoma has all of those things.”

Venables led the way in this decision.

“Coach V is awesome. We have had numerous talks about faith, how he believes and how they develop their players in SOUL Mission. That was big for me. I loved that on my visit.”

Now Oklahoma has one Jandreau. Can they get another?

“Me and Beau (Jandreau) want to be a package deal, but we both have to do what is best for us. He has to make his decision too, but I would love to stay together. We have to keep praying on it.”
