Kirkland is listed as the No. 18 offensive tackle and No. 38 player in the state of Florida in 247Sports’ composite rankings.

Included in the announcement of his final five schools, Kirkland revealed he will be making his final decision on July 23. He is set to visit Oklahoma in June.

Kirkland has been on OU’s radar since long before Brent Venables took over in Norman, having received an official offer from the Sooners all the way back just prior to the start of the 2020 season.

SI Sooners will continue to provide updates on Kirkland’s recruitment as they become available.
