Stutsman Named AFCA First-Team All-American
December 13, 2024 | Football
NORMAN — University of Oklahoma senior linebacker Danny Stutsman added another first-team All-America honor Friday when he was named to the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) All-America First Team.
Stutsman, who was named a first-team All-American by the Walter Camp Foundation Thursday night, was a finalist for the Butkus Award and a first-team All-SEC selection by the league's coaches and media. He is OU's first first-team All-American by at least one of the five NCAA-recognized selectors (Walter Camp Foundation, AFCA, AP, FWAA, Sporting News) since wide receiver CeeDee Lamb in 2019.
The fourth-year player from Windermere, Fla., started all 12 games at middle linebacker this season and ranks fourth in the SEC and 24th nationally with his team-high 109 total tackles. He also ranks fourth in the SEC and 22nd nationally by averaging 9.1 tackles per game. He added 8.0 tackles for loss, one sack and three QB hurries to his ledger this season.
Against Missouri on Nov. 9, Stutsman logged a career-high 19 tackles, including 10 in the first half. His 19 tackles were the most by a Sooner since the 2018 season. He logged double-digit tackles four times and at least 15 tackles three times this season, and led the Sooners in tackles in eight of 12 games.
Stutsman has played in 47 career games and started each of his last 37 (all over the last three seasons), totaling 376 career tackles to rank ninth in Oklahoma history. He is tied for fifth among OU inside linebackers with his 36.0 career tackles for loss. He also totaled 8.0 career sacks and three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. With 109 tackles this season, Stutsman has registered triple-digit tackles in three consecutive campaigns. He is the first Sooner with triple-digit tackles in three consecutive seasons since Travis Lewis from 2008-10.
Stutsman has served as a game captain 10 times over the last three seasons, including six times this year, and was voted as a permanent team captain at the end of his sophomore season in 2022, and then again in 2023.
Oklahoma (6-6, 2-6 SEC) will face Navy (8-3, 6-2 AAC) in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl on Friday, Dec. 27, in Fort Worth, Texas. Kickoff is set for 11 a.m. CT on ESPN.
