Missouri State football added an in-state quarterback commitment to its 2026 recruiting class.
Parkway West (Ballwin) rising senior Brett Ottensmeyer announced his commitment to the Bears on Saturday evening. He is the first publicly known 2026 recruit to commit to Ryan Beard and the Bears, who have been active in offering the class in recent weeks.
Ottensmeyer lists himself at 6-foot-4, 200 pounds. He’s not ranked by any of the major recruiting outlets. He held offers from Sacramento State, Lindenwood, Miami (Ohio) and Kent State.
The 2024 high school season in the St. Louis area saw him complete 66.3% of his passes for 2,484 yards, 22 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. His rushing numbers are limited.
Ottensmeyer would join what is currently a crowded quarterback room for the post-Jacob Clark era, when the team competes in its first season of bowl eligibility. Eastern Michigan transfer Drew Viotto was brought in this offseason, and coaches have liked the growth in Cole Feuerbacher and Elijah Leonard. Incoming freshman Deuce Bailey (Bowling Green, Kentucky) is the highest-ranked quarterback the Bears have ever landed out of high school.
Ottensmeyer was quick to commit to the Bears after being offered a scholarship on May 21. He posted a picture of himself on his X account alongside offensive coordinator Nick Petrino and offensive line coach Max Halpin on Tuesday.
