Oklahoma Sooners defensive end target Jake Kreul announced that he will make his college commitment live on ESPN's "The Pat McAfee Show" at 11 a.m. CT on Tuesday. It was revealed last week that Kreul would announce his decision on ESPN's "College Football Live" at 1 p.m. CT Tuesday, but apparently his moment was promoted to one of the most popular shows on the network.

Jake Kreul announcing decision on ESPN
Kreul will presumably choose between OU, Texas and Ole Miss. However, just a few days ago, Kreul posted on X a picture of his official offer from his homestate Florida Gators, so a massive twist could be in store on The Pat McAfee Show.
ESPN is the only major recruiting outlet that rates Kreul as a five-star prospect, while every other service gave him four stars. According to the 247Sports Composite, Kreul, listed at 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, is the No. 9 edge rusher in the 2026 class and No. 63 overall prospect. He's also the No. 9 recruit in the state of Florida out of IMG Academy.
Based on the 247Sports Composite, Kreul would become the Sooners' highest-rated commit from the 2026 class. However, he recently took a tumble in Rivals' rankings, so according to that list, Kreul wouldn't even be OU's top defensive end behind Daniel Norman.
"The Pat McAfee Show" starts at 11 a.m. CT and ends at 1 p.m. CT on ESPN.
