STILLWATER — With an entirely new staff of assistants, Oklahoma State football recruiting will have a different feel for the class of 2026.
Mike Gundy restructured his coaching staff after the three-win season of 2024, and the new assistants made a few recruiting moves for the 2025 class, but most of those were via the transfer portal.

A four-star prospect on the 247Sports composite rankings, he became the first such commitment in the class.
