A major blow has hit Oklahoma State’s 2026 recruiting class. Jenks High School star running back Kaydin “Batman” Jones has officially decommitted from OSU, citing concerns about the program’s future following the departure of longtime head coach Mike Gundy. The three-star prospect had been one of the Cowboys’ top in-state commits, but with coaching uncertainty looming, Jones has decided to reopen his recruitment.
While Jones made clear that this doesn’t rule out a return to Stillwater, his decision signals real hesitation about committing to a program with an unclear direction. The news stings even more considering his stature as one of the top offensive players in the state and a potential cornerstone of OSU’s future backfield.
