His official visit to Norman was convincing enough for him to make his pledge to the Sooners. Kruel never wavered since committing.
“The one thing I like about OU is that Norman has that college town vibes that you get to see in the traditional SEC,” Kreul said. “You just know game days are going to be crazy with all the fans.”
Kreul is ready for the next level at OU, as he feels he can develop into an NFL player under the Sooner staff.
“I just think there’s a higher focus on development now,” Kreul told Rivals. “Getting ready for college, you know what you’re doing, you know how to play the role to get ready. You’re focused on that next level and growing as a player.
