OU football: Why McGuinness LB Brynden Walker flipped commitment from OSU

McGuinness star linebacker Brynden Walker spent the better part of the past month weighing his options.

He was committed to Oklahoma State, but Oklahoma was growing more and more appealing. Then, he watched film with new Sooners defensive coordinator Alex Grinch.

The film wasn’t of OU. It was Washington State.

“After my visit, I looked up some stats of that defense prior to Grinch and during Grinch,” Walker told The Oklahoman. “Before Grinch, they were terrible. When Grinch came, they started to get really good, just putting more players in the League, more turnover rates and everything.
