Wide receiver Trey Metoyer verbally committed to Oklahoma this weekend. He becomes the Sooners seventh commitment for the class of 2011.

“I just wanted to hurry up and commit and get it over with,” Metoyer said. “[OU receivers coach] Jay Norvell has been to two or three of my basketball games and OU was one of my favorites since my sophomore year.”

Even though he pulled the trigger quickly, the Whitehouse, Texas resident is comfortable with his choice.

“I made the right decision,” Metoyer said. “Most of my family, friends and coaches said I made right decision.”

Metoyer had offers from Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Arizona, LSU and Mississippi. But there was one factor that put the Sooners over the top.

“Coach Norvell said he’s not going to redshirt me,” Metoyer said. “At first I was looking at LSU. They had the number one receiver in the nation, but he only caught 12 balls. I need the ball.  That’s an opportunity for me to come in and earn my spot.”

Metoyer also stated that the early decision gives him a chance to concentrate on his academics. He took his SAT test Saturday morning and said he felt he did well but, “the math questions were hard.”
