David Oku's Jr. Highlight

[M16xVeNoMoUs]

he went to my high school for 1 semester lol

[ultimatepower65]

did they play lil axe that year? anyone?

[TheOkstate]

@ultimatepower65 i dont think we have played little axe in along time

[ultimatepower65]

@TheOkstate ohhhh ite thanks

[johnsns105]

Kid prob regrets going to UT now

[BaRe889]

great vison, speed and balance but looks for the outside too much could use his o-line better

[tim24tn]

Brown, Oku, Hardesty, Poole ............Wow pretty much sums it up.

[TheBSxtravaganza]

You couldn't have hit the nail on the head any better. Went to the game and saw all 4 do really well! Check out our videos.

[supreemwun]

Nice...at 01:13 helmet is pulled off but he knew where he wanted to go...END ZONE!

[biggnatee23]

He has great vision, makes great cuts, and runs hard. Him and Bryce will be a dominant 1-2 punch in the future. I expect a 3rd person to come along as well.

[tmac2085]

can't wait to see this kid is ORANGE (UT ORANGE)

[tjshannon70]

nice call on oku goin to ut lol

[JBJM23]

He's gonna have fun on the bench. Best seat in the house I guess. haha. He could've got a lot of playing time at Syracuse. Him and Paulus would've benn fun to see. o well. Good luck dumbass!

[stinkyFUK]

He may see the bench some his first year.. but few freshmen don't...

[Ments7]

Syracuse? Who would want to go to Syracuse? He's going to fit well in the Tennessee offense and he should get some playing time this season. We're going to be a run heavy team since we don't have a QB. He wasn't even looking at Syracuse. It was between UT and Auburn.

[JBJM23]

Jim Brown, Ernie Davis, Donovan McNabb, Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney....just to name a few. Yes, SU hasn't been good in a few years but neither has Notre Dame and other big name schools. And if you pay attention to college football, he was looking at Syracuse. He visited there around December when he had second thoughts about UT.

[clg3210]

@JBJM23 Peyton Manning Reggie White Jamal Lewis Albert Hanesworth John Henderson

[007his]

coach gran will get him and brown to be a 1-2 punch. watch out. coach gran the best rb coach.

[hamertime15]

I sit by him in math class? Lincoln East High School! Lincoln Nebraska ALL DAY BABY! Straight A's!

[ut4life05]

Got great vision, quick feet, VERY smart player. He is going to look GREAT in orange

[elitheman08]

by orange i hope u mean tennessee orange

[ut4life05]

without a doubt.

[pneuma232]

you already know what time it is . SEC better get ready, I just hope these young guys stay out of trouble like E.B.14 has and don't be like LaMarcus Coker take advantage of this chance to not have to work 40hrs a week. Bama sucks, Florida sucks, Bulldawgs really suck. ROCKY TOP ALLDAY BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[volnation24]

Oku and Bryce Brown - Best RB tandem in a couple years.

[adths63]

@volnation24 AMEN

[tim24tn]

There he goes!!!!!!! All the way to the checkerboards. TOUCHDOWN BIG ORANGE!!!!!!!!!

[KC1021fm]

Ah-eee-oooo killer Oku...

Ah-eee-oooo killer OKU!!!!!!

[duckman398686]

go vols!

[DemocraticChaos]

GO VOLS! Welcome to Tennessee, David.

[OshaBosha44]

do you think they will switch positions because of byrce brown?

[DemocraticChaos]

UT has a 2-tailback system in that they runs two backs at you for 4 qtrs. I think Oku and Brown will be a force on the field.

[OshaBosha44]

oh ok.

[TwinCessnaflyer]

Yeah look at him go......look at him go straight to Knoxville. He is officially a VOL.

[amatuer06]

Look at David Oku Go

[shockwave68516]

Ya too bad he came to East a year late. I would have liked to play alongside him this last season. He's a really nice kid though...He didn't mention football at all today when I talked to him. I don't think he really cares about all the hype.

[CBgriffon]

He totally moved to Lincoln. He actually gets to live in Huskerland for a bit before making up his mind. Talk about an unfair(and awesome) advantage to Nebraska!!!

[kskater]

he went to lincoln east

[tbraves1]

Rumor has it that he has moved to lincon and his enrolled at a linoln high school. If this is true, I like our chances of getting him.

[tbraves1]

He is gonna look even better in Scarlet and Cream.

Go skers!

[Flakester1]

Haha, thats awesome.

GBR

[solvacc]

Awesome Skills David. Your excellent vision along with your size and speed will make you successful wherever you end up. Good luck & War Eagle.

[SVEntertainment08]

so whats the word on this guy? Where's he gonna end up?

He's awesome.

[jizzyb123]

So is he a VOL or what? Anyone know?

[syracusecrunchfan]

Doug Marone will be the deciding factor in his decision to come to SYRACUSE, he coached Reggie Bush who is a very similar player. If he came here he really could bring this team out of the whole and put us on top again. He is a guy u can build around. David OKU if u are listening please.. u would create such hope in our city again for our football team every person would know your name in a matter of hours here in SYRACUSE. Wait they already do and we are all waiting for your decision!!!!!!!!!

[fyi6com]

5 stars on this vid.

107,000 screaming fans shouting OKU! He's a Volunteer. I love it!

GO UT Vols! (Now with the coaches of USC - coached and recruited Reggie Bush, etc.

[ottodude1]

Oku said he is going to sign with Duke

[Chinfuzzchet]

DUKE?LOL!

H'll will have a short career if he goes to `Cuse with no O-line to speak of....

Fannin is faster than Oku, Tate is the power back @ AU so he would not start at TB @ AU but would NOT be a redshirt!after last weekend I'd lock him in for Auburn

[ottodude1]

I dont see why people post shit saying come to this school. I was just making a point

[HerbGiant2]

Oku doesn't want to go to sorry ass Duke or bitch ass Auburn, where he should have went is LSU, thats where you start preparing for the draft

[ottodude1]

Your a moron for thinking I was serious. Duke is horrible at football.

[Hrubizzle]

he wont get any playing time if he goes to Auburn....He will be a four starter if he comes to Cuse.

[kukockuo]

come to Syracuse, he can get most playing time!!

[jholl7291]

go to syracuse!!!

[jeremy90210]

cum to Syracuse

[Mrgamer4]

I think hes going to UT

[9999ponyboy]

He Is Going To Auburn!!!!

[CWatson24]

hey stud...dont forget stephen davis, he had a promising career

[sholedc]

there is no way this kid goes to Syracuse... sorry. Its going to be either UT or Auburn. I'm shocked that he would even consider it... Syracuse sucks.

[oa293]

OMG!!! this guy is amazing. Please come to Syracuse!!!

[studdog01]

Hey Herb you are a complete idiot. Was Bo weak, is Ronnie Brown weak, What about Bradon Jacobs( o yes he played at Auburn couldnt start so he transferred) i could go on but i am running out of room.Oh yea William Andrews,toughest back ever. IDIOT

[SamBooby123]

come to auburn, THE running back U

[HerbGiant2]

auburn produces weak, shit rbs, like cadillac and kenny irons

[OshaBosha44]

what about Bo Jackson, one of the many on the career ending injury list

[OshaBosha44]

well fuck you then. hes better than your bitch ass

[4everau]

What kind of stats did you put up?

[SamBooby123]

haha yeah.......................... i would say somethin back but other people have already left comments proving my point.

[syracuse93]

I REALLY hope he picks Syracuse.

[porque210]

CUSE! Please Oku please!

[philaufan6]

This guy may commit to Auburn.

[jbibbs17]

All you Vols fans think you are getting him huh? Well he is visiting Syracuse Univ today and tomorrow so watch out.  Shouldn't have fired the guy that recruited him!

[raenglan]

Ur a fuckin idiot. Syracuse hasn't been worth shit since D-McNabb. If you actually think Oku would even serioulsy consider SU you are so dumb. Yall just recruit 2 stars and shit.

[codyjordan16]

LOL.yea hs right,SU really doesnt rucrit good players

[rboy15]

creadell pennon way sicker than oku check him out.

[xXWALEXx]

that D is booboo

[Tennesseevols16PM]

a Tennessee player!! ya! just another RB to go along with the rest of our RB stars, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry, Travis Stephens, Cedric Houston, Reggie Cobb, Chuck Webb, Jay Graham, Shawn Bryson and others. Go VOLS!!!

[dpatton2007]

MAYBE THE BEST RB IN THIS CLASS

[jkeenan18]

Casenas79 , don't know why ur faggit azz is laughin those were just rumors, David Oku is still committed to TN. He soften his commit so that he could take other visits, because of TN's coaching change. Oku says TN still leads an that TN would have to REALLY SCREW UP to not get his signature on signing day. LOL i'd be jealous of Tayh Boyd & David Oku in TN's backfield dat is str8 NASTY!

[casenas79]

He de-committed lol...

GO BLUE

[Suavesky]

Where again is Tennesse on the all time wins list? NCs earned? Heisman winners?

Make the smart move sun. BIG RED!! With you we will be back to the winning ways.

[stinkyFUK]

Albert haynesworth, Peyton manning, Al wilson, jamal lewis. You are right tennessee produces no one. Tennessee has one of the toughest schedules and plays in the sec. The sec is definately the best conference and I just love for others to say otherwise. Florida will own who ever is left standing in the other conferences lol.

[shocker0]

Tennessee is in teh top 10 all time win list in college football.

6 National Championships.

Many Heisman winners.

[joebob900]

actually, Tennessee doesn't have any Heisman winners.lol

But Peyton Manning should have won it!

[rcfreak7777]

yep. Tennessee is one of the best schools in the NCAA. We get top 10 tallent every year. Do I like the huskers? Sure. Are they in the same breath as TN? Maybe, but Nebraska is not even close to putting the same tallent that the Big Orange is on the field right now. They are going to have to start winning again for that to happen.

Eric freakin Berry for Heisman 2009-2010.

[tman8792]

THIS is exactly what we need. Him in the backfield and Tajh Boyd at QB. Oh yes.

[LANDON384]

yeah but did you see the QB who just signed with us he turned down west virginia because he didn't like the spread but that's what Tenn. needs is a black QB

[fultonreed99]

factor back, hope to see him playin on sundays someday

[volzfan4ever]

Go vols!

[LANDON384]

He just commited to the VOLS WOW hopefully he can bring the running game back to (GOOD OLE ROCKY TOP)

[mrkyle06]

your coach was just forced to step down, maybe he will reconsider his choice, but i doubt it.

Go Big Red

[LANDON384]

Well we hope not mrkyle06 now don't we LOL!

[mrkyle06]

haha yeah but i just read that RB jarvis jiles is considering new options. One of those options, NEBRASKA. Tennessee is stacked with RB's this class so I think jarvis is gonna leave

[SevierCountyRooster]

Has anyone else noticed how good that center and tackle combo looks? Those are some huge holes he is getting looks at. Not to take away from his ability in anyway because wow what a burst he has.

[BackSeatB0yZ]

HE FINALY A VOL

[HailToTheVictors21]

yea... didn't nebraska lose that game...?

[MyTMouseProduction]

Eh, Nebraska is the place for him. Great speed, power, and vision. And that visit he took must have been ungodly because that stadium was rocking on saturday for three reasons. One, Bo Pelini; Two, Oku: Three, We were playing VT. Oh yeah and is the "CornPeelers" the best you guys can do,(SERIOUSLY)

[huskerhockey]

lol bjhatfield, you're gonna hate cause the last time we played you, you got smoked, instead you should be mad at michigan cause if it wasn't for them and the big 10 bein pussies it would have been them gettin their ass beat in '97.

[Soulja4God777]

He looks faster than a 4.47, i give him under a 4.45 atleast

[jonlboy23]

he said tennessee is the leader

[HailToTheVictors21]

damn he reminds me of chris perry so much. GO TO MICHIGAN!!!

[CARDINALfootball]

Hate to break it to you guys, but he's going to Louisville. C-A-R-D-S CARDS!

[skambc21]

damn straight my cardinal brother!!

[bjhatfield]

Crouch, Frazier...yeah I think those guys are doing 10-15 years.

Dude Rocky Top is the unknown RB-U

Shawn Bryson

Jamal Lewis

Travis Henry

James Stewart

[rcfreak7777]

Lets not forget about other ALL AMERICANS:  Reggie Cobb Johnny Majors Travis Stephens Chuck Webb Jay Graham Cedric Houston Charlie Garner Aaron Hayden The list could go on and on and on...Tennessee really could be RU.

[growsales1]

Go BIG RED!!!

We missed out on Barry Sanders by not offering him(he wanted to go to Nebraska)...

I would love to see Oku pick N

HUSKER-----POW-ER------HUSKER-­----POW-ER

[marktwinkler]

Sharp, decisive cutbacks, quick and powerful... and he sure does look good in Red. :) Go Huskers!

[mrkyle06]

haha person below me Nebraska 3-0 Michigan 1-2 who was the winning program again

[Brewhaman]

mr.pedaphile06,

Michigan is in rebuilding phases, losses are expected, don't even try to compare the Nebraska "Corn Peelers" to the rich tradition we own in Ann Arbor. Oku would ultimately flourish in RR's spread. RR will have things turned around quicker in Ann Arbor than Bo will in Lincoln!

~LETS GO BLUE!!

[mrkyle06]

Nebraska has just as good if not better tradition than Michigan. Oku would be good at any school but he did say he wasn't too big a fan of the spread

[Brewhaman]

"Nebraska has just as good if not better tradition than Michigan"???

Ehhh, that's reaching a bit there slappy!

No way do the "corn peelers" match all time wins, heismans, all americans, conference tiltles, academics, etc....

The only "link" the two schools have is that shoddy ass 1997 NC coach's poll vote (in favor of the corn peelers),that's it!

And I know chances are small D.Oku comes to Michigan,we have a lot of talented backs already and a few more coming in next season, so we're set.

[mrkyle06]

Both schools have just over 800 wins all-time

Nebraska has 5 national champs within 40 years(only 5 ever)Michigan has 11 all-time(only 2 when football mattered after 1936)I know all-americans are very even between the two. Each team has 3 heisman winners. That seems even to me.

I don't hate Michigan I just think nebraska doesnt get the credit they deserve...peace out

[Brewhaman]

And you forgot to mention, Nebraska did win the last time we played!! So they do have some of Michigan's respect!

[HailToTheVictors21]

lol huckfoly why would he want to go to nebraska when he could actually be in a winning program... and the "best backs coming from NU"...? that's tough. especially seeing as how he wouldn't be playing until his junior year probably if he went to nebraska

[VaporRazor]

Come on home to NU! Best Fans In The Nation Want The Best Running Back In The Nation!

[christian31Eagles]

Did anybody else see the ref get knocked down at 0:56?

[christian31Eagles]

Come to Virginia Tech. Maybe you and my brother will be in the same recruiting class.

[HuckFoly]

sorry, I ran out of room...

Those were just the QB's... Do I have to name the Ibacks that have come through NU over the years??? that would just be insane to try to do.

NU has historically been the absolute best school for top running backs to go to. It's apparent that the style is going to change back to this.

Everyone knows it. This is where you come to learn to block and also tear defenses up for 200+ yards a game in a few years.

David, choose NU, your out of state, but still close.

[HuckFoly]

Dude, go to Nebraska, that's where it's at man... Running Backs and NU go hand in hand. You gotta be able to produce though, the competition is real, but if you want to be the best, Nebraska is where it is at.

If you think it's going to stay a pass happy offense, look to commit Cody Green, one of the nation's top dual threat QB's.

Nebraska wrote the book on this years ago, Turner Gill, Tommie Frazier, Scott Frost, Eric Crouch, Jamal Lord, Joe Ganz, the list is an endless highlight reel.

[skambc21]

David Oku says "The vols...not so much".

Looks like it aint gonna be the vols!

[rcfreak7777]

Looks like its gonna be the VOLS again girls.

[dalelindsay81]

I said it's great to be a Tennessee VOL!!!!!

[jonlboy23]

rivals said he has committed to be a vol. GO VOLS

[Brewhaman]

Bullshit!

Rivals sadi nothing about him committing to Tennesee. He has made no indication to what school he'll be attending. Everyone still has a chance!

GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!

[Brewhaman]

**said**

[rcfreak7777]

Clearly he is a VOL girls. Bring him to the SEC............

[Brewhaman]

And "Clearly" we can see you're a douchebag!

[babaker12345]

Looks like a special back. Go Vols.

[mgkibbles]

looks alot like westbrook

[jasson708]

GO BLUE BABY!!!!!this kid is awesome. That wolverine helmet gonna look real nice on him!!

[Brewhaman]

Rumor around Scouts and RiVals, David Oku has placed Michigan high on his list again...just a rumor, But we'd love to have him!

GO BLUE!!!!

[skambc21]

come to the ville oku!

Oku, Powell, Anderson, and Ashley would b unstoppable!!

[lvillecards12]

hell yah nigga

[chikinpotato11]

Dont you see man, now we REALLY need him.

0 points on offense against KENTUCKY???

[RunMichaelRun]

Go to FSU!!!!!!!!

[FSUTalent]

Noles FTW!!!

[dougperc]

Amazing runner. But let's also give credit to the EXCELLENT blocking ... great downfield blocking at 0:57.

Oku, bring it to Nebraska!

[racoon218]

this kid is a Vol.

[jennifergrrl53]

I really hope this kid comes to Nebraska.

The last time the Huskers had a RB of this caliber was 1997 and Ahman Green.

I watched this kid's film and there is no discernable weakness in his game. He is a legitimate five star recruit.

Reportedly he's narrowed his choices to Nebraska, Florida State and Tennessee.

David Oku...come to Nebraska and join the Bo Pelini Revolution.

[TrojanStud047]

I talk to the kid frequently online... I made sure to tell him good luck with his decision, even though it isnt going to be the Illini, hes a good kid, but i definately am pleased he isnt going to go to another Big10 school, but ill let you guys in on a little secret he already has in mind what school he is going to decide... but sorry i am not going to be the one tell you... but he said he is very close to making that annoucement he said he wants to make the decision very soon ;) be ready...

[Oku2NU]

Reminds me of the legendary Johhny Rodgers

Nice cuts man

You will shine at Nebraska!

[FSUTalent]

Oku to FSU!!!!!!!!!

[jasonh88]

michigan and illinois are out.... oku to the ville!

[DeaconIzaDrummer]

I love how this kid's legs never stop moving and he runs full speed as soon as he gets the ball thats what you gotta do be successful.

[scoowop3]

He ran without his helmet from 1:13 to 1:19

[tjmcdoug]

C'mon Kid Be a Nole!

[tgun1983]

Husker Nation loves this kid...continue the tradition oku.

[HuckFoly]

this guy is fantastic... I hope he chooses to go to Nebraska!

[VictorsValiant]

It's an easy choice. If Michigan shows that they use their RB to run downhill plans similar to the FL game...they he will be Blue. But if they run way to much with the QB, he will go to either IL or NB, depends who is looking to be better for the next 4 years. FSU will continue to slide. JoePa will retie after this year as his contract is up. Then Bowden can retire aswell.

Great Back. Should be fun to watch.

[LSUcHamp606]

Wrong on all accounts...

[chee3415]

his o line is ruuuude

[Brewhaman]

This guy is a PUNISHER to defense(s). A true work horse, look at how he just punishes the tacklers (1:13), that's power!

The Maize and Blue wants you David, come to Ann Arbor and be a part of the new era of Wolverine football!

GO BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[orangeandblue0687]

This kid's crazy. You'd look great in Illinois' spread offense David! Go Illini!

[LSUcHamp606]

i dunno why, but i just get that feeling he'll be in the Garnet n Gold.

Those Unis are sick too.

[tjmcdoug]

I hope you're right you can never have enough good running backs and him Chris Thompson and Tavarress Pressley would be one hell of a combo

[drummer4519]

That TD run right before the 2:00 minute mark was insane.

[tatertots00]

nebraska

[illinoisportsfan]

Go to Illinois! :-)

[brobj]

I love the spin move on the last run. I wouldn't mind seeing him in garnet and gold (FSU for those that don'e know).

[aosis94]

I like how the QB goes down field and blocks. We don't need another damn David Carr

[shmotzinopal]

No one has any idea where he is going other than it will be either Michigan, Illinois, Florida State, Tennessee, or Nebraska. His talents would probably be best utilized at Michigan in the spread, but that's only if Rich Rodriguez runs the same spread he did at WVU, which still isn't certain. Either way that doesn't mean that's where he wants to go. He is taking all 5 officials and is announcing on Dec 11 where he will go. With all that said I do hope its Michigan and Go Blue!

[CentralMid03]

It doesn't matter..he's garbage anyway...

He plays 5a against teams like Guthrie and Booker T. While they are good teams they wouldn't even make playoffs in 6a. So ya'll can hype him all you want.

Besides...he's goin to Auburn anyway..

[SoonerMan918]

Dont expect a Reggie Bush type of player. Alot of people dont think he can make it into college because of his grades and his big attitude problem.

[gleakk]

FSU bound baby.

[PimpMurph]

Illinois is his best offer??? hahahahhahahahaahhahahahahahah­ahh

[aosis94]

Illinois doesn't suck his best offer is Illinois what are you smoking? There offense could make any running back win the Heisman

[rcfreak7777]

Are you serious? I know you are just kidding.

[austin6151]

i cannot wait to play him in the playoffs..

[saylo1cr]

IMO...it seems a change of offense at his high school, from whats seen here, to the spread might give him more thoughts about playing at UofM. GO BLUE!!

[caneboy84]

hes goin 2 michigan, spread is perfect 4 him.. he'll b playin wit feagin whos gonna b a freshman qb this year, zone read ALL DAY LONG!! feagin ran for 1,300 and 25 TD's on the ground and tht was part of a 3 headed runnin attack and he was QB, look em' up

[tsprandel]

GO BLUE!

[aboutjosh129]

He said his current favorite is FSU. I don't know why, their kinda mediocre compared to the other choices. Except Illinois, they suck too.

[FSUTalent]

FSU bound. thanks for trying though everybody.

[caneboy84]

lol.. he wud play rite away though, UR SRRY

[aosis94]

Hes going Illini

[BigBL87]

I'd like to see him in Scarlet n Cream myself. I think that he could develop into a great back for Nebraska, and thrive in the Big XII.

[TrojanStud047]

He's gonna look good running for big TD's wearing Orange n Blue for the Fighting Illini, say what you want about the Illini, but if he doesnt end up going to the Illini hes going to be a Vol, the worst thing Rich Rod could have done was leave WV, "Big Blue" is going to be lucky to win 4 games this year... and im very happy to see that happen!

[937noles]

Don't count us out.

Oku is sick, been my favorite RB prospect this year for a while.

[alexbatesevans]

Michigan?? HA Who wants to go there and freeze their asses off and look at ugly chicks?? He is ALL VOL BABY!! Where real football is played in the SEC

[mnsully15]

The only "REAL" football being played in the SEC is by Florida, LSU, Georgia.

[chew12381]

Go play for RR and the new U-M.

Go Blue!!

[Z7m]

His list is down to Michigan, FSU, Nebraska, Tennessee and Illinois.
