Oklahoma has received a commitment from Alliance (Ohio) High quarterback Brendan Zurbrugg.
A 6-foot-4, 185-pound recruit in the 2024 class, Zurbrugg had been committed to Northwestern since late June. But, he decided to re-open his recruitment in light of the hazing allegations against the football program and subsequent dismissal of head coach Pat Fitzgerald. He recently visited Norman and decided to pull the trigger on Tuesday.
Syracuse was also in the mix, hosting him for an official visit back in June. He had committed to the Orange on June 18th but flipped to the Wildcats 8 days later.

Derek Peterson does a bit of everything, not unlike Taysom Hill. He has covered Oklahoma, Nebraska, the Pac-12, and now delivers CFB-wide content.
