It’s that time of year when you see more 4 and 5-stars over the On3 social media timeline than in downtown LA. With National Signing Day 2025 in the rear-view mirror, there’s absolutely no standing on ceremony. Nearsightedness is a cardinal sin in this sport, and focus has swiftly pivoted over to the class of ‘26. Coaches are hitting the road for off-campus visits. Parallely, recruits are reciprocating the efforts with on-campus ones. The no.11 quarterback in his class. 4-star Bowe Bentley has just announced 5 official visits over spring. A couple of notable schools are expectantly on the itinerary.
Since before his announcement, Bowe Bentley has been trending towards the Oklahoma Sooners. On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) even gives Brent Venables’ program the highest percentage chance to land his services under the center. Merely 130 miles separate his home in Celina, Texas, and Norman. He’s a boyhood Sooners homer, too, and has already been on campus. Even with all this baked in, it would’ve been borderline delusional for his recruiter, new offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, to think the process would be straightforward. It never is with a prospect of this ilk. OU knew there would be roadblocks to getting Bentley. Now, they’re privy to the exact ones. A mix of schools from the SEC, B1G, and ACC are preparing to host him, and they’re all blue chips.
On3 Recruits’ Steve Wiltfong broke the news that Bowe Bentley has finalized official visits to the following: Oklahoma, LSU, Ohio State, Florida State, and Georgia Tech. In that order, from March 8th all the way to March 29th. It’s not a surprise Oklahoma has received the first one, a positive for Venables. But the glass half-empty POV will be that this leaves the others with time closer to the final decision. As if the adversaries Oklahoma has to fend off weren’t daunting enough, a couple are extra motivated, too.
