Oklahoma’s Top 2026 RB Kaydin Jones Sets a Commitment Date

STILLWATER – Ready or not, Kaydin Jones of Jenks (OK)HS, the top running back prospect in the 2026 class in Oklahoma, has set a commitment date. Jones, a four-star, has been on a steady unofficial visit itinerary the past few weeks and must have seen something that really swayed him because he has set his commitment date. Jones posted on his Twitter/X site that he will make his decision on Wednesday, March 26th. 

The event will take place at 4 p.m. central time inside the Robert L. Sharp Health and Fitness Center at Jenks High School. Jones asked for those wanting to attend, my guess is media, but maybe the general public DM him on his X site.
