Bentley had high praise for LSU.
"The Heismans they've had and the development Coach (Joe) Sloan has with each quarterback, and being one of the top programs in the SEC. Coach (Brian) Kelly and my relationship with them has been amazing over the course of this process," Bentley told On3.
According to the On3 Prediction Machine, Oklahoma is the favorite to land Bentley at 37.1%. LSU sits No. 3 with a 16.9% shot to land the QB.
All four major recruiting services rank Bentley as a top 10 quarterback in the class, but On3 is highest on Bentley, slotting the Texas product as a top 50 overall recruit.

LSU's 2026 recruiting class ranks No. 1 in the country, but the Tigers have yet to add a quarterback to the class. Only a few of the top 10 passers remain uncommitted, making Bentley a high priority for LSU.
Bentley's recruitment took of in the last year after 2024 was his first season starting at the high school level. The 6-foot-1 QB offers promise at the next level. With a strong 2025 season, Bentley has the chance to finish as a five-star recruit.
