"Flexibility and ability to bend at knees stands out. Fires off low and thrusts up and into defender. Absorbs contact well. Is consistent with hand placement and sinks hips with consistency to win leverage. Is quick to shoot hands inside and has impactful initial punch. Moves feet well and quickly. Plays balanced and always keeps feet underneath him. Demonstrates high level body control. Moves well laterally and shows kick step. Can change direction and handles counters well. Ability to mirror with ease. Mixes physical play with being technically sound. Athleticism shines when pulling and when scraping and getting to second level. Spends a lot of time working on technique away from practice," said national recruiting analyst for 247Sports Brian Dohn.

Okunlola will announce his commitment on Thursday, December 15, 2022.

According to the On3Sports Recruiting Prediction Machine, Miami is the favorite to land the prospect with a 64% chance followed by Florida with a 32.5% chance.
