4-star RB Kaydin Jones trending to in-state program ahead of commitment
On Wednesday, Jenks (Okla.) four-star running back Kaydin Jones is set to announce his college decision, choosing between Oklahoma, Kansas, Louisville, Oklahoma State and Vanderbilt.
After taking a round of visits, Jones is set to make his commitment. One team is now trending, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM). On Monday, On3 VP of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong logged a pick in favor of Oklahoma State landing the blue-chipper.
Jones recently made his way back to Stillwater and could become the class jewel in the 2026 cycle for head coach Mike Gundy, RBs coach Cory Patterson and Co. If he were to choose the Cowboys, he would be the highest-ranked prospect in the OSU class.
The 6-foot, 170-pounder ranks as the No. 321 overall prospect and No. 23 RB in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 3 player in Oklahoma.
As a junior for Jenks, a Sooner State powerhouse, Jones ran for 814 yards and eight touchdowns while also catching a pair of TDs in eight games, per MaxPreps. He ran for over 1,200 yards as a sophomore, too. Jenks put together an 8-4 season in 2024 and finished as the No. 3 team in Oklahoma, according to the On3 Composite Rankings.
