BREAKING: “Sooner Out? 4-Star QB Bowe Bentley Leaves Oklahoma Buzzing After Eye-Opening LSU Visit

Four-star quarterback Bowe Bentley made his official visit to Brian Kelly’s LSU program on Monday, and all signs point to a successful trip. The 6-foot-2, 200-pound standout from Texas described the visit as going “really well,” further solidifying his strong connections with both LSU and Oklahoma, per his 247Sports profile.

Bentley, who boasts a growing list of high-profile offers, also maintains positive relationships with programs like Arizona, Boston College, Cal, Cincinnati, Duke, and Colorado. His offer list includes powerhouses such as Georgia, Florida State, Ohio State, and Wisconsin, among others. However, he currently reports no active ties to schools like Appalachian State, Arkansas State, or North Texas, despite receiving offers from them.

According to On3, Bentley’s NIL valuation sits at an impressive $500,000.

Last season at Celina High School, Bentley put up eye-popping numbers—passing for 3,211 yards and 47 touchdowns against just seven interceptions, while rushing for 923 yards and 16 more scores. He also led the Bobcats to a flawless 16-0 season, culminating in a 55-21 victory over Kilgore in the Texas 4A Division I state title game at AT&T Stadium. He earned offensive MVP honors for that performance, throwing for 265 yards and five touchdowns on 9-of-14 passing.

Bentley has continued to showcase his skills in elite events like the Elite 11 Finals and the Navy All-American Bowl. Next up on his recruitment trail is an official visit to Oklahoma on Friday. While LSU currently holds the No. 10 recruiting class nationally, Oklahoma isn’t far behind at No. 17—setting up an intense battle between two top programs for one of the nation’s most electric quarterback prospects.
