LSU football loses top quarterback recruiting target to SEC rival

LSU 2026 quarterback target Bowe Bentley committed to Oklahoma, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett on Friday.

The Tigers made a push for the four-star passer during the spring, landing in Bentley’s top two alongside the Sooners. However, after taking official visits to both within the last month, he decided to head to Norman.

Ranked No. 7 at his position and No. 11 out of Texas by On3’s Industry Rankings, Bentley had a host of SEC offers to choose from. There have been multiple reports that say the Celina, TX native traveled to campus Friday to tell head coach Brent Venables and the staff in person.

LSU’s 2026 class still ranks first in the conference and second nationally, but it remains in search of a quarterback. There are two top-10 uncommitted passers remaining, but the Tigers aren’t considered finalists for either, nor anyone in the top 30. LSU will now move its focus to flip targets.

Just because Bentley committed doesn’t mean he’ll stop hearing from schools. Expect LSU to stay in his ear and possibly host him for another trip, and possibly for a game in Death Valley.
