OU junior linebacker Danny Stutsman unveiled a new NIL venture on Thursday.

The Sooners' leading tackler in 2023 turned a picture of him smoking a cigar in the locker room following Oklahoma's 34-30 win over Texas into a T-shirt. On the back of the shirt, he pasted words from his viral pregame speech.

"Oklahoma only fears God. Texas fears Oklahoma."

Stutsman's new tee drop comes amid questions regarding a Horns Down tattoo. He posted a picture on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday showing off what appeared to be new ink. 

On Monday after practice, Stutsman told reporters the tattoo was fake. He then, on Wednesday, showed it off again on the Pat McAfee Show.

"It might be real or it might be fake,” Stutsman said.
