STILLWATER – As we inch closer and closer to the start of spring football, Oklahoma State is working on putting together its 2026 recruiting class. Starting Monday afternoon, recruits started sending out messages on X on official visits scheduled for late April.
This article will be updated if and when more recruits announce official visits.
The first to announce was Liberty Hill (TX) HS defensive lineman, Alister Vallejo.
Vallejo checks in at 6-3, 280 pounds and is coming off a very solid junior season in which he recorded 64 total tackles, 34 of which were solo stops, 15 QB hurries, nine sacks, four blocked field goals and one pass break up. Pretty decent for an interior lineman.
He currently holds offers from Houston, Kansas, Ole Miss and SMU.
Following his junior season, the Austin American-Statesman tabbed Vallejo as the District 11-5A DII’s top defensive lineman.
The next is four-star quarterback, Oscar Rios.
Rios checks in at 6-3, 175 pounds and is a three-year starter for Downey (CA) HS. According to 247Sports, Rios is the No. 144 overall prospect in the 2026 class, the No. 8 overall QB and the No. 21 overall prospect out of CA in the class.
He currently holds close to 20 offers, including Oklahoma State, Arizona, Arizona State, Auburn, Cal, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan State, Nebraska, Utah, Virginia Tech and Washington.
He finished his junior season completing 154-of-254 passes for 2,554 yards and 22 touchdowns to six interceptions. But he’s also very mobile as he rushed for 735 yards and 11 touchdowns on 108 carries across 10 games.
The third player to announce an official visit is EDGE, Hudson Woods.
Woods checks in at 6-3, 220 pounds and is coming off a very productive junior season for Smithson Valley HS just outside of Houston in Spring Branch, TX.
He currently holds more than 13 offers, including Baylor, Georgia Tech, Houston, Kansas State, OU, SMU, TCU and Navy among others.
He helped the Rangers to an impressive 32-20 win over Highland Park out of Dallas for the Texas 5A-1 state title. Woods recorded 66 total tackles on the season, including 29 QB hurries, 20 tackles for loss, including 13 sacks, four pass break ups and three forced fumbles.
Katy (TX) Paetow defensive lineman, Daryl Campbell, is the latest prospect to announce an official visit.
Campbell checks in at 6-2, 300 pounds, and currently holds 20 offers, including Cal, Houston, Kansas, Maryland, Memphis, North Carolina, SMU, Texas Tech, Vanderbilt and Wisconsin among other.
Berry Tramel, is he still around!!! Snore Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!Orangeheart72 said:
Interesting article by Berry Tramel noting OSU's lowly recruiting rankings thru this last portal and that OSU has to start recruiting better.
Point more on target seems to be OSU has to start paying better or Tech, Colorado, ASU, TCU, etc. are going to leave OSU in the dust.
Tramel is a freaking idiot, who doesn't have any information that any regular fan doesn't already have, even fans living is other States.GumbyFromPokeyLand said:
FYI - Like him or not, Tramel knows enough about OSU football to fairly assess where the program is relative to other B12 programs. BTW, he's right about OSU recruiting and portal signings.
naw, he cashed out already... not even the great Mr. Boone PIckens could have gotten us out of this mess... it's going to take everybody, or we're just going to have to let it go.Doug Gosney said:
Just imagine if Boone had lived long enough to see this chapter of football. He would have been right in the middle of the talent wars with heavy checks.

If you are reading anything that Tramel wrote, then you have now also become one with the suspect opinions.
Please tell me your post was a joke, humor. I mean, you actually typed, "Tramel knows enough about".... That in itself is a classic opening to a comedy.
yeah..... that's like up there in the classic stratosphere with "Once upon a time".

While I agree with RA about Tramels knowledge of recruiting and portal activity, my point was Tramel fairly assess (regardless of his lack of recruiting knowledge) where OSU is vs the rest of the B12 and what is needed to better compete than what we saw in 2024. $$$ and better recruiting with $$$. IMO, as long as athletes can transfer at will, OSU will never have enough money to regularly compete at the top of the league, much less nationally.
BTW, the idiot you're seeing is in the mirror.

there ya go with the cliche's ..... once upon a time.
see ya later, all you want to do is attack others. it is so unnecessary.
Tramel said nothing that the average (below average) fan doesn't already know.

One thing is for sure - he knows as much or more than some Californian that never visits Stillwater and ONLY knows what he reads.
