Nebraska Football RB target will visit for Colorado game

2026 running back Kayden Jones is one of the top players in the Midwest.

2026 four-star running back Kayden Jones has scheduled a visit with Nebraska football on September 7. This was reported by his On3 profile.

He is the 14th overall running back in the 2026 class and the top overall player in his class from the state of Oklahoma per the On3 Recruiting rankings. He has several offers, including from Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Oregon, and Miami.

Jones measures in at 6 feet, 170 pounds. He will be part of a visit list that includes the likes of 2026 quarterback Michael Clayton as the Huskers prepare to face Colorado.

In recent months, Nebraska football has made it a point to add depth to the running back room. They have one commitment for the 2025 class at the running back position in Conor Booth. They currently have no commitments in the 2026 class, although that could be the main focus in the fall.

Jones would be a solid addition as Nebraska stacks talent at the running back position.

2026 In-state 4-Star running back includes Oklahoma in top 11

The Sooners remain in the hunt for 2026 four-star running back out of the state of Oklahoma.

The Oklahoma Sooners have shown in previous recruiting cycles a desire to take multiple running backs in a recruiting cycle. They’ve signed at least two scholarship backs in each of the last three recruiting cycles.

The Sooners are hoping to do the same in the [autotag]2026 recruiting class[/autotag]. They’ve already received a commitment from four-star running back [autotag]Jonathan Hatton[/autotag]. They’re also pursuing a number of blue-chip runners, one of which is a standout from the Tulsa area, [autotag]Kaydin Jones[/autotag]. Jones dropped his top 11 on social media on Wednesday and included the Sooners.

Along with the Oklahoma Sooners were Oregon, Michigan State, Alabama, Missouri, Vanderbilt, Louisville, Miami, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and Tennessee. He has a total of 22 offers, 21 of which are from Power 4 schools across the country.

Jones is a composite four-star running back, according to 247Sports. Oklahoma offered back in June of 2023.

An Oklahoma legacy, Kaydin Jones has spent time with the Sooners in camp settings, impressing those in attendance with his quickness, elusiveness, and ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. A true dual-threat runner, Jones racked up 2,205 all-purpose yards and 19 touchdowns as a sophomore.

Jones displays fantastic contact balance, breaking tackles and picking up extra yards. He’s got quick feet and is an elusive runner. He’s shown the ability to line up in a number of spots on offense and can run a full route tree.

He’s got all the talent to be a dynamic player at the collegiate level and beyond. Here’s hoping it’s with the Oklahoma Sooners.
