Oklahoma Sooners land Bowe Bentley to headline 2026 recruiting class

The Oklahoma Sooners and offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle landed their guy at the quarterback position on Friday evening. The Sooners earned a commitment from four-star prospect and one of the top 10 quarterbacks in the 2026 recruiting class, Bowe Bentley.

Bentley chose the Oklahoma Sooners over an offer from the LSU Tigers. He also held offers from prominent programs like Georgia and Ohio State. The Sooners offered Bentley in January after a standout performance at the Navy All-American Bowl, a showing that saw his recruitment take off.

The Celina, Texas product combined for 63 total touchdowns in 2024, helping lead his high school team to a 16-0 record and a state championship. He’s considered the No. 5 quarterback in the class and the No. 4 prospect in the state of Texas by On3 recruiting.

Bentley is one of the fastest-rising prospects in the ’26 class, going from a virtual unknown to where he is now in short order. Arbuckle has pursued him heavily since landing the Oklahoma offensive coordinator job. Bentley’s pledge to OU wraps up a saga at QB that has stretched on for months.

Bentley now slots in as one of the faces of the future in Norman, Oklahoma. He has the potential to add to the great quarterback lineage at OU. He’ll now get to follow up his official visit host, John Mateer, and likely Michael Hawkins Jr. under center for Oklahoma.
