STILLWATER – Oklahoma State is after a talented quarterback in the 2026. On Friday, Bowe Bentley, a four-star quarterback out of Celina, TX, announced he’s been offered by the Cowboys.

Bentley checks in at 6-3, 200 pounds, and holds more than 20 offers, including Arizona, Cincinnati, Duke, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Missouri, OU, Texas Tech, UCF, Virginia Tech and Wisconsin among others.

He’s a dual threat quarterback who led Celina to an undefeated season this past year as a junior. He threw for 3,330 yards while completing 70% of his passes with 40 touchdowns and rushed for 933 yards and 16 touchdowns. 

Bentley was in Stillwater this past season for Senior Day as the Cowboys lost a heartbreaker to Texas Tech on Nov. 23. Expect the staff to work hard on getting Bentley back to Stillwater throughout the next several months, especially Spring Football with the new coaching staff.

Pokes Report has a good relationship, and a good amount of respect for Greg Powers and what he has to say. Powers is the director of recruiting for Dave Campbell’s Texas Football, and this is what he had to say about Bentley.

Todd Bradford and is staff have really geared up recruiting the 2026 class, and now it’s time you’ll start seeing some quarterback offers going out. With how the 2024 season with for the Cowboys, leading coach Gundy to talk about how important a running quarterback is, it should come as no surprise they’ve offered Bentley.

How much did we offer him?

(i.e., how long do we have to raise the money?)

Lord, what a world.

It took Mike till the 2024 season to realize how important a running QB is, really?! I could've told him ages ago.

Naw... all of our best QBs have always been drop backs... always. Robinson was probably the closest thing to a good running QB that we've had, but he threw way, way, way more than he ran.

We need drop back QBs who are "mobile". We do not need 3 consecutive QB draws up the middle. Yeah, I get it that it adds an extra person for the defense to keep track of, but give me a QB that can hit the slant on a blitz, and burn you deep other times!

It doesn't matter what worked in the past. It matters what works now. You have to have a qb that can run so that you can keep the defense honest. Fortunately it appears all four of our guys have some ability to run. We'll see how it shakes out in the spring.

That's pretty funny, did you write that yourself?

Worked in the past? You mean like with Sanders who couldn't even start over passing QB Dart? You mean like Corndog?

oh, you must have meant "successful past", like the Rudolph guy before them... yeah, he could burn up the turf with his feet... SMH


Believe me friend, I hope it works. Nothing would make me happier than to have any QB take us to the playoffs, I have just never seen it at OSU.

One time we got close to the playoff, with that fleet-footed QB named Weeden.

I'm talking about what is happening across college football right now. Saying that because Sanders didn't lead us to a championship, you are saying that quarterbacks that are dual threat won't be successful at OSU.

I'm pleased we have 4 qb's that can run as well as pass. I'm guessing you think we should check to see if Shane Illingsworth still has eligibility left. I think that whoever wins the job for next season will be more effective than Bowman. Just look at the NFL. All the really good QB's are good runners as well passers. Get out of the Stone Age.
