Gundy’s Exit Sparks Recruiting Fallout: Top OSU Commits Decommit Amid Uncertainty

In the wake of Mike Gundy’s dismissal, the fallout has already begun — and it’s hitting Oklahoma State’s future hard. The Cowboys are starting to see their once-promising 2026 recruiting class unravel, with multiple key decommitments announced in just the past week.

One of the more significant losses so far came from three-star quarterback Kase Evans, a cornerstone of the Cowboys' future under the previous staff. Evans had long been viewed as a foundational piece for the program’s rebuild, and his departure sends a clear signal about the uncertainty recruits are feeling.

"“After many prayers and a long talk with my family, I have decided to decommit from Oklahoma State and reopen my recruitment,” Evans shared on social media.
