Jenks (Okla.) three-star running back Kaydin Jones was one of the best players in the state last fall, carrying one of the top programs in the state. He’s now the No. 548 prospect overall.
Jones previously decommitted from the Cowboys, pledged to Kansas, then flipped back to OSU on December signing day. He was tabbed as Rivals’ Player of the Year in Oklahoma by Andy Villamarzo:
“Jones was the workhorse for a Trojans team that lost just once in the regular season and scored 530 points, just one point shy of the program record. During the season, Jones finished carrying the ball 265 times for 2,001 yards and scored 41 touchdowns. Catching the ball out of the backfield, Jones hauled in 38 receptions for 403 yards and scored five times. Jones set numerous school records during the regular season, which included the single game rushing yards (445), touchdowns in a contest (eight scores) and all-purpose yards in a game (549).”
Other top signees in the class include: Bixby (Okla.) three-star cornerback Braeden Presley, Carthage (Mo.) three-star EDGE Landon Bland, Mesquite (Texas) Horn three-star offensive tackle Kole Seaton, Sammamish (Wash.) Skyline three-star wide receiver JT Weir and Arlington (Texas) three-star interior offensive lineman Eli Holbrook.
