Sooners secure rare sibling pairing with latest 2026 commitment

The Oklahoma Sooners are getting the same type of OUDNA.

Linebacker Beau Jandreau on Monday committed to the Sooners, according to Hayes Fawcett of On3. His twin brother, Niko, a safety, has already been committed to OU since last month.

Beau is a consensus three-star linebacker in the 2026 class from Hamilton High School in Arizona. According to the 247Sports Composite, Beau, listed at 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds, is the No. 89 linebacker in the class and No. 14 overall player in the state. Niko is right above him as the No. 13 player in Arizona.

He chose OU over Texas and Oregon, as well as offers from Boise State, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Tennessee, USC, Washington and more.

The second commitment from the Jandreau family came right after both took official visits this past weekend during OU's ChampU BBQ. On Sunday, Niko teased this possibility on social media.

Niko, listed as an athlete, should be a great fit in Brent Venables' hybrid cheetah position, which is a combination of a safety and linebacker in OU's defense, because of his versatility on the defensive side of the ball.

The Sooners' 2026 recruiting class is up to 12 commits after Beau's decision. That number will continue to inflate since OU just finished up its biggest annual recruiting event of the year.

OU already has one set of brothers making an impact on the defensive side of the ball with defensive backs Peyton and Eli Bowen. The Sooners also have quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. and incoming freshman defensive back Maliek Hawkins as another brother duo on the current roster.
