2026 wide receiver Jayden Petit has committed to OU, per his announcement Thursday on social platform X.

Petit, a four-star recruit from Naples, Florida, is the No. 93 recruit in the nation and the No. 12 recruit in his state. During Petit’s junior season at St. John Neumann, Petit recorded 50 receptions, 777 receiving yards and 12 receiving touchdowns.  

Petit committed to the Sooners one day after decommitting from Wisconsin, marking OU’s 24th commit in the class and giving the Sooners the No. 15 recruiting class in 2026.
