Oklahoma\u2019s summer run, something that feels like it\u2019s becoming a hallmark of Brent Venables<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s recruiting seems to be getting underway. On Wednesday evening the Sooners landed their first defensive lineman of the class of 2024, Wyatt Gilmore<\/a><\/strong>. It\u2019s time to take a look at the 6-foot-4, 245-pound pass rusher and see what made him a priority for Oklahoma defensive ends coach Miguel Chavis<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Gilmore, who currently ranks as the nation\u2019s No. 43 EDGE and No. 662 overall player chose the Sooners over offers from Miami, Oregon, Minnesota, and several others.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s On Tape for Commit Wyatt Gilmore<\/h2>\n

At a position where foot speed and agility are often the hallmarks, Gilmore\u2019s hands may be what truly stick out. Not only is he a powerful guy at the point of attack \u2013 standing up one blocker after another \u2013 but he\u2019s also good in keeping blockers away from his body. <\/p>\n

The powerfully built defensive end uses his hands as effectively as any young defensive end you\u2019ll find. Whether it\u2019s disengaging a block or getting underneath a blockers pads and cutting off an outside run before it can begin,<\/em> he\u2019s highly effective.<\/em><\/p>\n

His ability to use leverage, strength, and solid technique make for a quality run stopper<\/em>. But, what of his ability to impact the quarterback? <\/em><\/p>\n

Gilmore\u2019s hallmark may be hand placement but it isn\u2019t just as a run defender he finds use of them. In the pass game showing a surprising variety of moves for such a young EDGE. The Sooners commitment has a great motor and can be seen pursuing ball carriers from snap to whistle. <\/em><\/p>\n

His strength allows him to hold off blockers and simultaneously keep his eyes on the backfield to read and react. He regularly is seen reading a play in the backfield before shedding his block as a play starts to go wide.<\/em><\/p>\n

Gilmore can be a bit upright and isn\u2019t an elite \u2018turn the corner\u2019 defensive end<\/em>. That said, he has a great motor, s<\/em>trong hands, and s<\/em>hows proficiency as a run and pass defender.<\/p>\n

Sooners Commit Comparison<\/h2>\n

As Oklahoma\u2019s latest commitment an interesting parallel can be drawn between he and Sooners transfer Rondell Bothroyd<\/a><\/strong>. The comparison resonates due to their sturdy frames, strong run defense, and ability to get underneath blockers.<\/p>\n
