If you were waiting for how long it would take Oklahoma first-year tight ends coach Joe Jon Finley to secure that initial commitment, not long at all.

Less than a week from being offered and Aledo (Texas) High Jason Llewellyn is in, announcing his commitment to the Sooners on Friday morning.

“It just felt like the best fit for me,” he told SoonerScoop.com just minutes after making his decision public.

Llewellyn was offered by Finley and the Sooners last Saturday, and most expected a big-time battle to ensue between OU and Red River rival Texas. Before this week, the prevailing thought was Llewellyn would end up being a Longhorn, and he was expected to take a self-guided tour of the Austin campus this weekend.

Obviously, the battle is not over, but it’s a heck of a way to get things started for Finley back in Norman at a school where the Sooners have rarely had any success in Aledo.

Llewellyn becomes the sixth commitment for the Sooners and the second of the month, joining Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei running back/receiver Raleek Brown.

The Sooners did not recruit a tight end for the 2021 class, making it imperative to find at least one quality addition for 2022. Llewellyn certainly checks that box.

“Coaches like how versatile I am, I can block well in line and split out wide and create matchup problems, and stretch the field,” Llewellyn said. “They said I am the complete tight end.”
