It was apparently list cutting day for the 2026 class.
In short succession, three prospects announced they had trimmed their lists and included Oklahoma State in their top groups. Two were in-state prospects who will both announce their commitments on Saturday. The other is a quarterback with in-state ties who will commit Aug. 12.
Here is a quick look at each prospect.
Colton Yarbrough
A four-star prospect from Durant, Yarbrough cut his deep list of offers down to five: Oklahoma State, Georgia, Arkansas, Colorado and LSU. He also announced that he would make a commitment at 5 p.m. Saturday.
He is the No. 211 player in 247Sports’ 2026 Composite ranking. 247 and Rivals each list Yarbrough as the top prospect in the state of Oklahoma, with each listing him as a four-star prospect.
As well as offers to his top five, Yarbrough also announced offers to Miami, Kansas State, Michigan State, Oregon, Tennessee, USC and others before the cut.
Listed at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, Yarbrough announced OSU offered back in March. Although recruiting sites list him as an edge rusher, he actually played both sides of the ball as a sophomore at Durant last season, also playing tight end. Defensively, he played both standing up and with his hand in the ground at times.
Adam Auston
Out of Lawton, Adam Auston also trimmed his list down to five: Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Baylor, Missouri and Kansas State. He will also announce where he is headed Saturday.
Playing at Lawton MacArthur, Auston is a 6-1, 200-pound safety. He comes in as the No. 395 player in 247Sports’ 2026 Composite rankings. 247 lists him as the No. 4 player from the state.
He announced his OSU offer back in March and also had offers to Texas Tech, Washington State, Iowa State, Houston and others before cutting down his list.
He put up 92 tackles as a sophomore in 2023, adding five tackles for loss, four pass breakups, a forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions.
Jackson Presley
A 6-foot-2 quarterback playing in Montana, Jackson Presley cut his list to three: Oklahoma State, Arkansas and Boise State. He’ll announce his commitment Aug. 12.
He’s the No. 478 player in the Composite ranking, which makes him the No. 41 quarterback in the class and the No. 2 player from Montana. He also announced offers to Florida State, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Texas A&M and others before trimming his list.
Playing at Glacier High School in Kalispell, Montana, Presley completed 66% of his 288 pass attempts as a sophomore last season, throwing for 3,053 yards and 28 touchdowns to only four interceptions. He also ran for 69 yards and another four scores. Glacier finished the year 10-2, falling to Bozeman in the Montana Class AA state final.
Presley has ties to Oklahoma. He is the son of actor and director Brian Presley and spent his freshman season at Jenks.
