Oklahoma State Offers Pair of 2026 Defenders

STILLWATER – The Oklahoma State coaching staff continues to send out offers in the 2026 class as two more defensive players have announced offers.

This comes a few days after they offered a pair of linebackers out of Arkansas, Braxton Lindey and Jakore Smith. 

We’ll start with four-star corner, J’Vari Flowers. 

Recruited by Jules Montinar, Flowers is a 5-11 corner out of Northwestern HS in Miami, FL. He holds more than 20 offers, including Arkansas, Auburn, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisville, Miami (FL), Missouri, Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A& and Wisconsin among others.

This past season as a junior, Flowers played in just nine games, recorded 15 total tackles, 1.0 tackles for loss and three pass break ups. As a sophomore, he recorded 37 total tackles, 18 pass break ups and a pick as a sophomore. 

Note: there is a stat discrepancy between Northwestern’s MaxPreps account and Flowers’ Hudl highlights.

But he’s a blazing speedster has he won the 3A Florida state title in the 100-meter dash with a 10.43 time. He also played in the Under Armour All-American game.

He’s the No. 74 overall prospect in the class, the No. 8 overall corner and the No. 13 overall prospect out of Florida, according to the 247Sports composite. 

The next offer from the Pokes goes to edge rusher, Yahya Gaad.

Gaad holds more than 15 offers during the cycle, including Arizona, Florida State, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Missouri, Ole Miss, Texas and Washington among others. 

He checks in at 6-5, 260 pounds and plays his HS ball with South Gibson in Medina, TN.

This past season as a junior, he recorded 50 total tackles, 29 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks and one forced fumble.
