On this episode of Rise & Shine College Football, Mustang (OK) 4-star QB and Oklahoma Sooners commit Jaden O'Neal joins Jason Watkins for his most in-depth interview yet.
Jaden reflects on his whirlwind journey through California high school football—playing at Newport Harbor, Los Alamitos, and Narbonne—before transferring to Oklahoma in March.
He breaks down his rise to national prominence, commitment to Brent Venables, and the tension that arose when new OU OC Ben Arbuckle offered 4-star Texas QB Bowe Bentley.
Jason also asks Jaden about the recent recruiting interest from Georgia, Florida State, Auburn, and Ohio State—and how Andy Staples leaving Oklahoma off his post-spring Top 25 poll contrasts with Ari Wasserman's belief in John Mateer and the Sooners' future.
