The four-star linebacker is now the 16th commit in Texas’ 2026 class.
“The connection and relationship at Texas that I have built with the coaches over there was stronger than every other school recruiting me,” Okpala said. “I feel like Texas was the best option for me to play on a big stage and that’s why I chose them.”
Okpala took his last official visit to Texas on June 20th and what he saw on his visit really solidified his decision in committing to the Longhorns.
“I loved everything about my visit,” he said. “The fit, NIL opportunities, building relationships with the players, everything just was the right fit for me and that’s when I knew it was home.”
Okpala makes his commitment ahead of his Senior year and he’s ready to focus in and have a big year hoping to lead the Rams back to the playoffs.
“It means a lot to commit before my senior year and start focusing in on getting ready for the season,” Okpala said. “I really just want to have another productive year this year, add more to the stat sheet and take home the Defensive player of the year and District MVP but the main goal is to just go out there and help my team win.”
The talented Mayde Creek star is officially off the board and look for him and the Rams to have a big season, but Okpala had one last message to Longhorn fans as he is now committed.
“I’m going to come in there ready to win, ready to compete. The goal is to win, one thing at a time… I’m ready to get to work!”
