Oklahoma State Quarterback Adam Schobel Commit Flips to TCU

One of the crown jewels in Oklahoma State’s 2025 recruiting class is instead sticking to his family ties.

Adam Schobel, a four-star recruit and formerly the highest-ranked commit in the Cowboys’ 2025 class, announced he will instead start his college career at TCU. Schobel’s father and uncle both played at TCU, so he will continue that family lineage. His cousin, a three-star edge rusher in the class, is also committed to TCU.

“I have been a TCU fan since the day I was born and when they called, I quickly realized it was an opportunity I couldn’t turn down,” Schobel tweeted out. “An opportunity to play alongside my cousin at my parents’ alma mater.”

It’s been a bit of a game of musical chairs in terms of quarterback commitments in this class. OSU actually flipped Schobel from Baylor, with that flip coming in April. At that point, TCU had a quarterback committed in the class in four-star passer Ty Hawkins out of IMG Academy, but at the start of July, Hawkins flipped from TCU to SMU, opening up the spot at Schobel’s legacy program.

OSU has offered 10 quarterbacks in the cycle but nine are committed to other programs. As we’ve seen, a commitment doesn’t mean everything, so there is a chance the Cowboys could flip someone from that group.

The only uncommitted passer of the class the Cowboys have offered, according to 247Sports, is Emile Picarella out of Baton Rouge. He announced an OSU offer way back in July of 2022. As things stand, he is the No. 1,084 player in the 247Sports Composite rankings. He also has offers to Houston, Marshall, Louisville, Mississippi State, Ole Miss, Oregon and others.

Here are the rest of OSU’s offers with the school each is committed to:

Keelon Russel (Duncanville, Texas) — Alabama
Ty Hawkins (San Antonio, Texas) — SMU
Adam Schobel (Columbus, Texas) — TCU
Kevin Sperry (Denton, Texas) — Oklahoma
Zebulin Kinsey (Toronto, Ohio) — Cincinnati
Kelden Ryan (DeSoto, Texas) — Virginia Tech
Shaker Reisig (Tulsa) — Boston College
Sawyer Anderson (Dallas) — Purdue
Jett Niu (Lehi, Utah) — Appalachian State

There aren’t a ton of uncommitted QBs left in the cycle. 247Sports lists Norfolk, Virginia’s Au’tori Newkirk as the highest ranked, with the recruiting service listing him as the No. 47 passer in the class. Picarella is the next highest ranked at No. 66.

Schobel’s defection leaves the Cowboys’ class at No. 50 nationally with 16 commits. That pushed the Pokes down to No. 10 in the Big 12.
