Jalen Montonati may keep the Cowboy family tradition alive in 2026.
The Oklahoma State Cowboys are off to a 5-2 start to the basketball season under first-year head coach Steve Lutz. They won three straight games to start the season before falling to Florida Atlantic in the opener of the Charleston Classic. The Pokes took care of business on Wednesday with a 76-55 victory over Tulsa.
In attendance for the Cowboys victory over Tulsa was one of the most sought-after prep players in the nation. Owasso junior Jalen Montonati is not your average high school hooper from Oklahoma.He told me he’s also looking to get to Kansas State, Baylor and SMU for games this season.The 6-foot-7 guard is a four-star recruit and helped lead Owasso to their first OSSAA State Championship in school history as sophomore.
Montonati has deep seeded roots in the Oklahoma State basketball program. His father, Brian Montonati, played three seasons with the Cowboys under legendary head coach Eddie Sutton. Those Oklahoma State teams made the NCAA Tournament in all three seasons Montonati was on the roster. In his final season with the Cowboys in 2000, the team made a run to the Elite Eight and Montonati was named to the Big 12 All-Conference team.
'26 Jalen Montonati is one of the best shooting prospects in the nation. Spot ups, off dribble, and off movement at 6'7 regardless of contest with high release. Handle and physicality continue to improve.In addition to Oklahoma State, Jalen Montonati holds offers from Kansas, Indiana, USC, Oklahoma, Iowa and others. Montonati had this to say about Oklahoma State in a recent interview with ON3.
“My visit was with Coach Boynton, but I’ve been in consistent contact with the new staff, and they re-offered, and we are building a relationship. I’ve been going to Gallagher Arena since I was a little kid, you know since my dad played there. Being around everyone there, it’s like a big family. The historical success that Eddie Sutton had there and the impact he had at Oklahoma State for a long time is inspiring.
