Oke becomes the Denver Summit’s first-ever USWNT call-up. The Georgia native replaces Houston Dash defender Avery Patterson who left camp with an illness. She came into three U.S. U-23 Women’s National Team camps in 2025 and played in matches against the Slovakia Women’s National Team and the England U-23s at the end of the year to earn her first two U-23 caps. The assertive defender played college soccer at UC Berkeley before transferring to UCLA for her final two college seasons.
