Ben Ahmed Commits to Oklahoma State Cowboys for 2025 Class

Oklahoma State's men's basketball team received a significant boost with the commitment of four-star center Ben Ahmed from Putnam Science Academy. The 6-foot-10 prospect, who previously signed with Miami, reopened his recruitment after the departure of Hurricanes coach Jim Larranaga. Ahmed, known for his impressive size and rebounding ability, is ranked as the No. 74 overall recruit in the 2025 class and is the third player to join the Cowboys' recruiting class, alongside Ryan Crotty and Mekhi Ragland. His commitment follows an official visit to Stillwater, and he expressed excitement about the coaching staff and their player development approach. Ahmed, originally from Nigeria, is already the all-time leading scorer and rebounder for his high school and aims to contribute to the Cowboys' success. This acquisition marks a successful week for Oklahoma State, following a notable victory against a top-ranked team.
