Oklahoma Sooners earn commitment from 2026 defensive back Niko Jandreau
The Oklahoma Sooners picked up their first commitment on the defensive side of the ball in the 2026 recruiting class, earning a pledge from three-star safety Niko Jandreau. Jandreau, out of Chandler, Arizona, picked the Oklahoma Sooners over offers from Washington, Missouri, Iowa State, USC, and Arizona State. In an interview with Parker Thune of OUInsider and Rivals, Jandreau said, "Out of all the places I went, there wasn't a place like OU.' Advertisement Though just a three-star prospect, it's easy to see what the Sooners love about Jandreau's game. He's a force in the secondary. He attacks ball carriers and arrives with force. He has great knockback and doesn't allow the ball carrier to get away from him. Jandreau does a great job reacting to what he sees and playing fast to the football. He's adept at playing along the line of scrimmage but is really good in coverage as well. He has the quickness and agility to mirror receivers out of the slot and can play single-high safety. Jandreau's a versatile piece for Brent Venables' defense that could be deployed at safety or cheetah. Jandreau is the first commitment for the Oklahoma Sooners since four-star wide receiver Daniel Odom pledged to OU back in January. It's another strong win for Brandon Hall on the recruiting trail, who has made Oklahoma's safety room into arguably the deepest position on the team. When the team adds Jandreau in the 2026 recruiting class, they'll get another fast and physical safety.

Sooners earn prediction for 2026 Linebacker Beau Jandreau
The Oklahoma Sooners earned their first defensive commitment of the 2026 recruiting class on Tuesday night, earning a pledge from safety Niko Jandreau out of Chandler, Arizona. But that might not be the only Hamilton High product to wear the crimson and cream in the future. The Sooners are also pursuing Niko's twin brother, three-star linebacker Beau Jandreau. On Tuesday night, Parker Thune of OUInsider and Rivals issued a Futurecast favoring OU. Advertisement According to 247Sports, Beau Jandreau holds offers from Oklahoma, USC, Texas, Tennessee, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Cal, Kansas State, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Notre Dame. Much like his brother Niko, Beau plays fast, and he plays the linebacker position with physicality. He doesn't just play to the man, he plays through the man, arriving to the ball carrier with force. Beau does a great job reading the play and reacting to with confidence and speed to get to the football. He can line up at both middle and weakside linebacker spots. With his speed and adept understanding of coverage, he could be an option at cheetah as well. Linebacker is a key spot for the Sooners in the 2026 recruiting cycle with the possibility that Kobie McKinzie, Kip Lewis, Kendal Daniels, and Kendal Dolby all leaving after the 2025 season. Brent Venables, Nate Dreiling, and Wes Goodwin have to stack talent in this class to help reload the position for the Sooners.

Oklahoma Sooners make top 3 for athletic 2026 cornerback
Oklahoma Sooners make top 3 for athletic 2026 cornerback The Oklahoma Sooners 2026 recruiting class is just four players deep at the moment, but with the summer months approaching, that number will grow substantially ahead of the 2025 season. All four players are on the offensive side of the ball, led by four-star quarterback Jaden O'Neal. But the Sooners are the trending favorite for a fast-rising cornerback in the cycle, Ryan Gilbert. Considered a three-star prospect in the 2026 recruiting class, Gilbert released his top three schools: Oklahoma, SMU, and Houston. Here's what I had to say about Gilbert at the beginning of April after he was projected to land with the Sooners following a big recruiting weekend for the Sooners. Gilbert has a strong athletic profile and is a competitive player. He plays bigger than his 5-foot-10, 170-pound frame might indicate. He plays fast. Gilbert shows off the ability to match well in man coverage. When playing trail technique, he does a good job staying with his receiver by feel, allowing him to look back for the football to make a play. He drives on the football well when playing off coverage and is a willing tackler in run support. Gilbert does a great job with his hands to break up passes even after it looks like the wide receiver is about to secure the catch. - Williams, Sooners Wire SMU and Houston are making big plays on the recruiting trail right now, so the Sooners will have to hold off some up-and-coming recruiting schools. However, Oklahoma is in a strong position to add one of the more intriguing cornerback prospects in the class.
