STILLWATER – Oklahoma State is down three commitments in the 2026 class as of Tuesday morning as Lehi, UT, tight end, Bryton Niu, and Berryhill, OK, offensive lineman, Aiden Martin announced their decommitments late Sunday night. Owasso (OK) WR Julius Wilson is the latest as he announced he’s no longer a part of the class due to the coaching changes.
Through 10 games, Wilson has 44 receptions for a team-high 778 yards and a team-high 11 touchdowns.
Niu was the first, having been committed to the Pokes since late April 2025. He chose the Pokes over Arizona, Cal, Colorado State, FIU, Oregon State, Penn, UNLV, USF, Utah and Utah State among others. Niu checks in at 6-5, 220 pounds and is the younger brother of former OSU commit Jett Niu, who flipped to OU ahead of signing day last December.
As for Martin, this is his second decommitment from the Pokes in the past two months regarding a coaching change. Martin first committed to the Pokes back in early March.
Checking in at 6-5, 295 pounds out of Berryhill, Martin then decommitted from the Cowboys following the firing of former head coach, Mike Gundy. After nearly two months, Martin rejoined the recruiting class. “I realized that when I first committed to Oklahoma State, honestly, that is where I wanted to be,” Martin told Pokes Report. “I love the people and I love the place. I hated to see Coach Gundy go, but sometimes you have to roll with the punches. When I recommitted schools came through but, honestly, it wasn't Stillwater and it wasn't the Cowboys."
But this decommitment is certainly different as Martin states complications with the new coaching staff. Shortly after publishing this article, Martin deleted his post on X.
On Tuesday morning, Owasso (OK) S Carter Langenderfer announced he’s flipped from OSU and will be signing with Tulsa on Wednesday morning.
OSU announced the hiring of North Texas head coach Eric Morris this past Tuesday. Morris has North Texas 11-1 for the first time in program history, with a berth in the American Conference title game this coming weekend against Tulane for a chance to play in the College Football Playoff.
Going into the new era of Cowboy football, everyone knew there were going to be adjustments made to just about every aspect of the program, everything from current and future recruiting classes, the coaching staff and the current roster.
Morris and Co. offered a talented four-star linebacker out of Carthage, TX, Carson Crawford, just a few hours after being announced as the new head coach. Now, just a few days later, adjustments are being made to the current commitment class.
Just a few hours before the ‘26 decommitments, current offensive lineman, Grant Seagren, announced he was going to stay in the portal to weigh all of his options. Segren, who entered the portal shortly after Gundy was fired back in September, transferred to Oklahoma State last year from Nebraska and played in all 12 games this past season for the Cowboys.
