The Oklahoma Sooners are looking for their first running back commitment in an already-impressive [autotag]2026 recruiting class[/autotag]. One insider believes OU will find that in state.
OUInsider’s Parker Thune issued a Rivals futurecast for four-star running back prospect [autotag]Kaydin Jones[/autotag] out of Jenks High School in Oklahoma.
Jones is the No. 3 player in the state according to Rivals and received his offer from [autotag]Brent Venables[/autotag] and [autotag]DeMarco Murray[/autotag] on June 15, 2023.
Jones stands 5 feet, 11 inches and weighs 170 pounds, but he still has two more seasons of high school football to put on weight and get stronger.
His father, of course, is former Oklahoma running back [autotag]Kejaun Jones[/autotag], who played for [autotag]Bob Stoops[/autotag] from 2002-2005. He was OU’s leading rusher on the 2003 team that played for a national championship.
Jones holds 21 Power Four conference offers that include Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas State, Kentucky, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas A&M and Utah.
