Quarterback Jaden O'Neal committed to the Sooners in June as a 4-star recruit over offers from the likes of Ohio State, Texas A&M and more.
chose where he wanted to play college football in two years, football itself wasn’t actually his top priority.. A California native, O’Neal will play his junior season at Narbonne High School after transferring from Newport Harbor this past offseason. Every major recruiting service ranks O’Neal as a top-10 quarterback in the 2026 class and a top-15 prospect in the state.
Don’t misunderstand the O’Neals, though. Football is still important. Athletes don’t develop into Division-I talent, especially the level O'Neal is at, without an emphasis and extra attention to the sport they play. O’Neal has morphed into a student of the game thanks to Jenkins. He watches hours of film every week. And it shows on Friday nights. He obviously has the physical ability to make spectacular plays, but a player can make those even better by knowing what play to make. O’Neal will frequently spin out of the pocket at just the right time to find the open teammate. And sometimes that even means tucking the ball and keeping it himself.
O’Neal’s next visit to OU will be Sept. 21, when the Sooners host Tennessee for their inaugural SEC game. But it doesn’t seem the Sooners’ result that day against a likely top-15 Vols team will really affect O’Neal’s decision. OU’s move from the Big 12 to the SEC also didn’t have any real bearing on O’Neal’s choice.
