Oklahoma State Lands Talented DFW Offensive Lineman Jaylan Beckley

STILLWATER – Oklahoma State just landed a 2025 commitment from talented offensive lineman out of the DFW, Jaylan Beckley.

Beckley, who checks in at 6-4, 290 pounds, is out of Trinity Christian Academy in Addison, TX, and holds more than 20 offers from Auburn, Clemson, Baylor, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Houston, Kansas, LSU, Mississippi State, Missouri, OU, Tennessee and Texas A&M among others.

He’s currently ranked as the No. 32 interior offensive linemen in the class and the No. 96 overall prospect out of Texas.

As you can see from the offers above, this is a big-time commitment for the Cowboys and Charlie Dickey. Beckley, who was committed to Clemson until March 1, was in Stillwater on an unofficial visit in the past month and loved what he saw.

Robert Allen reached out to both Beckley and his mom following the commitment, so we have an exclusive interview, which you can read here.

Beckley joins Idabel (OK) HS athlete Matrail Lopez as the two commitments in the class. However, it won’t stay that way for long as Mike Gundy and Co. have at least 30 official visits scheduled throughout the spring, with a handful of prospects visiting this weekend. You can read about that here.

The first thing that came to my mind on the OL commitment, who de-committed from Clempson, is oSu has finally turned the corner and is now seen as a big-time destination for the nation's finest players. I also think Steve Lutz is going to shock and awe with his recruiting prowess. That hire was a walk-off home run.

My first thought is that if we hijacked a committed guy to Clemson, it could only mean someone is pouring some bucks into NIL. I hate what this has done to college sports, but there seems to be no way to stop it as the NCAA is a spineless organization.
My other thought is just how huge this kid looks standing next to Gundy.
And I agree, I think we are in for a pleasant surprise with Lutz coming to town. I think he will find a way to buy the right players. I think we should no longer use the word recruiting. Instead, we should call it what it now is, buying players. Sad but true. I mourn for the old days.

The NCAA is the only organization that did try to stop it... the schools and the players kept suing them in court - and winning.

the State's, certain schools, and the players did this, not the NCAA.
