Jaden O'Neal gives Florida State highest-rated QB since 2022 class

Four-star quarterback Jaden O'Neal, ranked No. 112 in the 2026 ESPN 300, announced his commitment to Florida State on Sunday night, sealing a long-anticipated flip for the former Oklahoma pledge.

O'Neal, who spent nearly a year atop the Sooners' incoming class, lands as the Seminoles' second-ranked pledge in the 2026 cycle. ESPN's No. 7 pocket passer, O'Neal will arrive as Florida State's highest-rated quarterback since AJ Duffy (No. 60 overall) in the 2022 class if the 6-foot-3, 215-pound prospect from southern California ultimately signs later this year.

O'Neal initially committed to Oklahoma on June 24, 2024, remaining the top-ranked pledge in the Sooners' 2026 class for nearly 12 months prior to last week's decommitment.
