It’s hard for Oklahoma fans not to get excited about Bowe Bentley. The sixth-ranked quarterback recruit in the country made it official Wednesday, signing with the Sooners.
Bentley, who hails from Celina, Texas, spurned offers from Georgia, LSU, Ohio State, Texas Tech, and Indiana among the national powerhouses. He committed to Oklahoma on June 20, following a visit to Norman and just a couple of weeks after visiting the Bulldogs in Athens.
“Led TXHSFB blue-blood Celina to a 16-0 record en route to their first state championship since 2007. Racked up over 4,200 total yards on offense to go along with 63 touchdowns as a junior,” wrote 247Sports’ national analyst Hunter Standish. “Displays an elastic throwing motion that can retain velocity on the move. Finds success working the pocket or escaping to fire second and third-level bullets. Has the ability to layer passes into tight windows and throw with touch when needed.”
Bentley currently stands as the heir apparent to quarterback John Mateer, to whom Standish wrote Bentley is positively compared. Mateer has led the Sooners to a 10-2 regular-season and record and a spot, all but guaranteed, in the College Football Playoff during his first season with Oklahoma.
Overall, Bentley rates No. 6 quarterback and No. 68 recruit in the country, per the 247Sports Composite rankings.
