Gunslinger Headlines
Jamison Roberts (1) 🅿️4️⃣
2027 4⭐ QB recruit Jamison Roberts (AL) committed to Oklahoma following last week’s visit, he tells me. He also saw Florida earlier in the week and chose the Sooners over Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, Iowa, Kentucky, Arkansas and Duke, in addition to the Gators. Roberts was recruited by OC Ben Arbuckle and QBs coach John Kuceyeski, and they told him he’s their only standing 2027 QB offer.
“They made me a priority. They told me I was their guy, and they were not offering another one. That really stood out to me. They kept true to their word.”
Caden Jones (2) 🅿️4️⃣
2027 4⭐ QB recruit Caden Jones (CA) will take an official visit with Arizona, his dad tells me. He wants to take five OVs, which will likely include Washington and Colorado, before committing. Jones also plans to visit UCLA, Baylor, Syracuse and North Carolina at some point and has recently seen Arizona, Cal and Washington. He has opportunities to play football and basketball in college, though his ceiling appears to be higher in football. Cal, Washington and Syracuse would allow him to play basketball, and Jones is getting a heavy push from Hawaii, Colorado State, Utah State and North Texas to play both sports.
Tradon Bessinger (3) 🅿️4️⃣
2026 4⭐ QB Tradon Bessinger (UT) committed to Iowa days after decommitting from Boise State, he tells me. He also considered BYU and UCLA before choosing the Hawkeyes. Bessinger recognized how close the recruits were on his visit, in addition to his bond with the coaching staff.
“These boys are a true brotherhood and are building great relationships. I am super excited to get into an NFL-style offense and learn a ton throughout these next few years.”
