His announcement followed a graphic hinting at a celebration that led to speculation about his commitment status due to recent visits to other schools like Florida and Oregon. During a live event, Ben confirmed his dedication to the Sooners, clarifying that the announcement was intended to celebrate his commitment, which he never had the chance to do after his initial pledge.
