STILLWATER – We put out an official visit list for Oklahoma State football last week, which includes some pretty talented prospects in the 2026 class.

Well, over the course of the week, more and more ‘26 prospects have announced they’ll be in Stillwater on OVs throughout the spring. More announcements are expected to be made in the coming days and weeks as Mike Gundy and his staff and switched to a spring-heavy official visit schedule.

Here’s a link to our original article from last week. 

For this article, we’ll be listing prospects in chronological order based on the date of the visit. 

April 4-6

Mataalii Benjamin – Lehi (UT) Skyridge – OT – 6-6, 305 pounds

Benjamin currently holds more than 10 offers, including Arizona, Arkansas, Arizona State, Boise State, Cal, Nebraska, Texas A&M and Utah among others. He has, however, appeared to have narrowed his search down at this time to OSU, Arkansas, Nebraska and Utah, having scheduled official visits to these schools. Recruiting is a volatile and wild place, so this could certainly change.

Chance Collins – Arlington (TX) Mansfield Timberview – ATH – 5-11, 165 pounds 

Collins currently holds at least seven offers, including from the Cowboys, Arkansas State, Michigan State, Oregon State, Texas Tech, Utah and West Virginia. He’s also scheduled an official visit to Utah on May 30. 

Jamarrion Gordon – Jackson (AL) HS – S – 6-0, 185 pounds – four star 

Gordon currently holds a list of at least 30 offers, obviously not all are committable offers, but an impressive list, nonetheless. Oklahoma State is the only official visit he has scheduled as of right now, but the list includes Alabama, Arkansas, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Indiana, LSU, Miami, Michigan, Mississippi State, Missouri, Nebraska, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee, UCF and West Virginia among others.

According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Gordon is a top 350 prospect in the class, the No. 25 safety and the No. 15 overall prospect out of Alabama. 

Carter Langenderfer – Owasso (OK) HS – S – 6-2, 190 pounds 

Langenderfer currently holds a handful of offers, including OSU, Iowa State, OU and Yale among others.

Xavier Warren – Georgetown (TX) HS – WR – 6-0, 160 pounds 

Warren currently holds more than 10 offers in this cycle, including OSU, Arkansas, Houston, Kansas, Kansas State, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Nebraska, Texas Tech and UCLA among others. The 247Sports composite ranks him as the No. 449 overall prospect in the class, the No. 69 overall receiver and the No. 61 overall prospect out of Texas in the class. 

April 17-19

Quinn Buckey – Bakersfield (CA) Liberty – OT – 6-6, 270 pounds

Victor Lincoln – Lancaster (TX) HS – CB – 6-0, 165 pounds 

Lincoln currently holds nearly 30 offers in this cycle, including Arkansas, Baylor, which he appears to favor more than every other school other than OSU, Duke, Houston, Kansas State, Nebraska, SMU, Texas Tech and Utah among others.

May 2-4

Marcus Almada – Tabor Academy (Marion, MA) – DL – 6-4, 280 pounds 

Almada currently holds an offer list of impressive schools on the academic side, including Army, Dartmouth, Georgetown, James Madison, Kentucky, Navy, Syracuse and UMass. The service academy offers, OSU, Kentucky and Syracuse are the football offers to watch.

Holds 30 offers "but not all are commitable offers". What does that mean, not all commitable offers?.

A perfect example is a lot of schools will send out offers to try and speed up a process of a kid they really want. Let's say they've got a kid they like and he says that he likes the school, but he keeps dragging his feet and not committing. So, a school will send out a few offers at that position to try and get that kid to feel like his spot might not be there much longer and he'll pull the trigger and commit. They've sent out the offers to other kids, but wouldn't accept a commitment from those kids because they want the first kid, not those new offers. So, not committable offers. It's definitely kind of scuzzy, but is a common practice. Also, schools will move on from a kid if they feel they either won't get him or they've filled that spot. So, the list of offers is out there and public, but that doesn't mean they're all offers he can accept, or not all committable offers.

An offer list of more than 30 that contains offers from big-time Big Ten and SEC schools is impressive, but some of those schools could have moved on and offers other kids or accepted commitments.
