Oklahoma State University's football program has landed its first commitment for the 2027 recruiting class, securing a pledge from standout dual-threat quarterback Carson White. The 6-foot-1, 207-pound prospect from Iowa Colony, Texas, chose the Cowboys over offers from several Power Five programs, including Texas Tech, Auburn, Kansas, and SMU.
Why it matters
This early commitment from a highly touted quarterback is a positive sign for the future of Oklahoma State's football program. Head coach Eric Morris has a track record of developing elite quarterbacks, and landing White this far in advance gives the team ample time to integrate him into the system and prepare him to potentially take over the starting role when current QB Drew Mestemaker graduates.
The details
As a junior, White led his high school team to the 5A Division II quarterfinals, throwing for 1,963 yards with 32 touchdowns and just 6 interceptions. He also showcased his dual-threat abilities, rushing for 678 yards and 15 touchdowns. White was named the 9-5A District Offensive MVP as a sophomore after throwing for 30 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, while also rushing for 832 yards and 18 scores.
- White committed to Oklahoma State on Saturday, April 5, 2026.
- White will arrive at Oklahoma State in 2027, after current starting QB Drew Mestemaker has graduated.
