The Oklahoma Sooners earned their first defensive commitment of the 2026 recruiting class on Tuesday night, earning a pledge from safety Niko Jandreau out of Chandler, Arizona. But that might not be the only Hamilton High product to wear the crimson and cream in the future.
The Sooners are also pursuing Niko’s twin brother, three-star linebacker Beau Jandreau. On Tuesday night, Parker Thune of OUInsider and Rivals issued a Futurecast favoring OU.
According to 247Sports, Beau Jandreau holds offers from Oklahoma, USC, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Cal, Kansas State, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Notre Dame.
Much like his brother Niko, Beau plays fast, and he plays the linebacker position with physicality. He doesn’t just play to the man, he plays through the man, arriving to the ball carrier with force. Beau does a great job reading the play and reacting to with confidence and speed to get to the football. He can line up at both middle and weakside linebacker spots. With his speed and adept understanding of coverage, he could be an option at cheetah as well.
Linebacker is a key spot for the Sooners in the 2026 recruiting cycle with the possibility that Kobie McKinzie, Kip Lewis, Kendal Daniels, and Kendal Dolby all leaving after the 2025 season. Brent Venables, Nate Dreiling, and Wes Goodwin have to stack talent in this class to help reload the position for the Sooners.
