Recruiting Update: OSU Extends Multiple Offers, Including a Four-Star 2026 Running Back

Oklahoma State coaches have been busy. The Cowboys have yet to earn a commitment for either the 2025 or 2026 classes, but a trio of Cowboy targets tweeted out offers on Saturday.

Here’s a rundown of who the Pokes are after.

Tradarian Ball | 2026 | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Running Back

The Cowboys offered a touted Texas running back, but they’ll have to fight off some big names to land him.

Tradarian Ball, a running back in the 2026 cycle, announced an Oklahoma State offer via his X account on Saturday.

The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Ball is a sought-after talent from Texas High in Texarkana. Last year he rushed for 1,285 yards and 12 touchdowns and hauled in 24 passes for 400 yards and six more scores. Ball is also a star on the track, taking part in the 200 meters, the 4×100 and 4×200 relays as well as the high jump.

On3, which tabs Ball as a four-star prospect, is the only recruiting service with a ranking for the 2026 prospect, but he’s still got two years to earn those stars. It won’t take that long.

Stars or not, there are plenty of schools after Ball. OSU’s offer makes No. 26, according to 247Sports, with plenty of big names on the list including the likes of Oklahoma, Florida State, Texas, Penn State and Oregon.

Take a peek at his sophomore highlights to see what has all those coaches interested.

The Cowboys also offered a pair of Nebraska tight ends with enviable size and a catch radius to match.

Chase Loftin | 2025 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tight End

First up is Chase Loftin who comes in at 6-foot-6 and 200 pounds and hails from Elkhorn North High in Omaha, Nebraska. He holds a list of a dozen offers including schools like Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Michigan State, Wisconsin and in-state Nebraska. He also holds an offer from Kansas State where his older brother, Brayden Loftin, is a freshman tight end.

Loftin is a four-star prospect and the No. 17 tight end in the 2025 class, according to On3, and ranked as a three-star by 247 and Rivals.

Take a look at Loftin’s junior season highlights.

Reiman Zebert | 2025 ⭐⭐⭐ Tight End

OSU also offered Reiman Zebert, a 6-foot-6, 210-pounder from Platteview Senior in Springfield, Nebraska.

Zebert logged 677 receiving yards and seven touchdowns last year which earned him Second-Team Super State and Big 33 honors, according to 247. He also plays hoops and runs track.

247 ranks him as a three-star prospect and the No. 29 tight end for 2025. The Cowboys are the second team to come calling after the in-state Huskers extended an offer on Jan. 3.
