Jalen Montonati announced his commitment to Oklahoma State on Thursday.
Montonati, from Oklahoma, is ranked as the No. 44 recruit in the 2026 Sportscenter NEXT rankings.
“In a time with so much portal recruiting, they made me a priority,” Montonati told ESPN. “The day after Coach [Steve] Lutz got the job, he called me and expressed that I was a priority. The support and love from Coach Lutz and the staff was great all summer long. They attended all my games.”
Montonati is Oklahoma State’s first commitment for the 2026 class.Â
