Report: Oklahoma 2026 QB Commit Jaden O'Neal Moving to the Sooner State

Oklahoma’s 2026 quarterback commit is reportedly moving close to his future home.

News9 anchor and Voice of the Sooners Toby Rowland reported Thursday that Jaden O’Neal, a 4-star signal caller, is moving from the West Coast to enroll at Mustang High School for his senior season.

Sources tell me that OU 2026 QB commit Jaden O’Neal (Narbonne HS, California) has enrolled at Mustang High School in Oklahoma. He will start classes next week.

O’Neal committed to the Sooners on June 24, 2024. He’s ranked as the 11th-best quarterback prospect in the 247Sports Composite Ranking, and he’s rated as the No. 137 overall prospect in the country.

The Sooners have had a previous quarterback commit move to the Sooner State recently.

Kevin Sperry, a 2025 quarterback who initially committed to OU, moved north from Texas to play football at Carl Albert High School.

Sperry later moved back south for his senior year before stepping away from his pledge to the Sooners. He eventually signed with Florida State, where he is a freshman.

O’Neal is one of four commitments the Sooners currently have verbally pledged in the 2026 class.

He’s joined by St. John Bosco wide receiver Daniel Odom from Beliflower, CA, IMG Academy interior offensive lineman Will Conroy and Frisco, TX, tight end Ryder Mix.

This move was one that was rumored since last fall, but is now official.

O'Neal told OU Insider, "It just kind of made sense. I just feel like this is a good opportunity to showcase my talents to even more people, not just in Cali."

The 6-foot-2, 208-pound quarterback elevates an already talented Broncos team into an elite level in the state. He will be tasked with helping the Broncos get over the hump and win their first ever football state championship.

O'Neal should instantly become the No. 1 player in the state ahead of fellow Oklahoma offer Tahj Overton, a defensive end from Owasso. According to 247 Sports O'Neal is currently the No.11-ranked quarterback and the No.137-ranked player in the country.

It could be interesting to watch O’Neal’s move affects other top in-state talent. Will this make an impact on skill position players like Mason James and Kaydin Jones, and will the two of them get closer to committing to the Sooners?
