Wynne (Ark.) Cross Country four-star defensive lineman Danny Beale has decommitted from Oklahoma State, he announced on Wednesday afternoon.
He was pledged to the Cowboys since June 25, but is now back on the board amidst a rocky season in Stillwater that witnessed the firing of longtime head coach Mike Gundy on Sept. 23. Beale was the top-ranked commitment in OSU’s 2026 class.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pounder is the No. 190 overall prospect and No. 20 DL in the 2026 cycle, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all major recruiting media companies. He’s also the top-ranked recruit in Arkansas.
Mizzou, Ole Miss and North Carolina were other programs in the mix for Beale this summer, but he chose Oklahoma State after taking his official visits. His OV to Stillwater came in April.
“Player development is important when I commit,” Beale previously told Rivals. “I want to go somewhere that needs me too. I want to get on the field, so I am looking for a school that is not heavy at my position.”
Both Beale and Owasso (Okla.) four-star DL Tajh Overton initially stayed in Oklahoma State’s class after Gundy was fired, but Overton came back on the board a few days ago and Beale has now done the same.
Oklahoma State’s 2026 recruiting class is now down to just six commits, as of Oct. 15: Carthage (Mo.) EDGE Landon Bland, Bixby (Okla.) cornerback Braeden Presley, Crowley (Texas) CB Brandon Ford, Argyle (Texas) CB Maliek Bracy, Lehi (Utah) tight end Bryton Niu and Orangevale (Calif.) Folsom interior offensive lineman Sunia Vuki.
