Coming out of high school, O’Toole was a three-star recruit and was rated the No. 1 recruit in the state of New Mexico.

At La Cueva High School, O’Toole made first-team all-state twice, was the Albuquerque Journal’s Metro Male Athlete of the Year in 2018-19, and led the Bears to a state championship as a Junior.

In 2021, O’Toole played in all 14 games as a wide receiver. He recorded one reception for five yards and made the Pac-12 Academic Honor Roll.

O’Toole transitioned to defense in 2022 and made an instant impact. He posted 41 tackles, four tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one fumble recovery, a pass breakup, and three QB hurries.
