Oklahoma EDGE commit Matthew Nelson brings verified production and track speed
Nelson is a consensus three-star EDGE who chose Oklahoma over Alabama and Arkansas after a senior season at Bryant that produced 51 tackles, 22 tackles for loss, 7.5 sacks and a forced fumble, while also helping his team reach the Arkansas 7A title game again. His best differentiators are his get-off, athletic range and multi-sport explosiveness—he also competed in wrestling and track, with reported hurdle success that hints at real bend and closing speed. Oklahoma is betting on a high-motor, disruptive defender with upside to develop into a dependable pass-rush piece.
