OSU’s Recruiting Class Ranked Inside Top 25 After Two-Commitment Tuesday

Cue up the Gundy mullet wave, because OSU is making a charge up the recruiting rankings.

The Cowboys landed two commitments (one from tight end Quinton Stewart, another from cornerback Jordan Reagan) on Wednesday after a bustling weekend of visitors on campus for officials and unofficials, which shot them up into the top 25 of the recruiting rankings for the first time this cycle. Here’s a look at where things currently stand in the national and conference rankings:

Did you peep that? That’s OSU and OU standing alone as the only Big 12 teams ranked inside the top 25 of the recruiting rankings. Here’s how the conference looks:

And now, the massive caveat: This likely won’t end the way it currently stands.

Here’s why: OSU, with 12 commitments, and K-State, with 13 commitments, are currently relying on volume to be inside the rankings. When it’s all said and done at the end of the cycle, assuming each program takes roughly the same amount of commitments, ranking is going to be determined on a per-commitment ranking average.

If you sort it by that field, here’s how the rankings currently stand:

OSU finished No. 5 in the conference the last two recruiting cycles which ranked No. 39 nationally and No. 34 nationally, respectively, and with a near-identical per-player average, expect that to fall right around the same spot by the time ink dries in December.
