The Oklahoma Sooners quarterback situation in the 2026 recruiting class is beginning to gain some clarity. On Thursday night four-star quarterback Jaden O’Neal decommitted from the Sooners. And now, the Sooners have apparently taken the lead for four-star quarterback Bowe Bentley.
Without a commitment date in sight, the Sooners are battling with Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers for one of the fastest-rising players in the 2026 cycle. Josh McCuistion, who covers recruiting for SoonerScoop and On3 (subscription required), issued a prediction favoring the Oklahoma Sooners ahead of this weekend’s ChampU BBQ.
It’s the first prediction logged from any site for Bentley, who saw his recruitment take off after participating in the Navy All-American game in January. He has 20 Power Four offers, most of which came in the last six months.
Bentley had a phenomenal junior season for Celina, throwing for 47 touchdowns to just seven interceptions. He also rushed for 16 touchdowns in an undefeated, state championship season. Oklahoma offered Bentley on January 24 and have made him a priority over the last six months.
He’s drawn comparisons to new Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer, and there’s a lot to like about his dual-threat game. If the Sooners can lock up a commitment from the talented prospect out of Texas, they’ll get one of the more prolific quarterbacks in the cycle.
