Breaking News: 5-Star QB Stuns College Football World with Shocked by Rejecting $8.7 Million, Decommits from Texas Longhorns, and Flips commitment to Michigan Over Powerhouses Alabama and Georgia Bulldogs…
In a stunning twist that has rocked the college football landscape, one of the nation’s top high school quarterbacks has made a bold and unexpected decision. A five-star recruit, previously committed to the Texas Longhorns, has not only decommitted from the powerhouse program but has also reportedly turned down an eye-popping $8.7 million in name, image, and likeness (NIL) opportunities. Instead of joining Texas, Alabama, or Georgia—programs widely considered to be at the forefront of college football dominance—the elite prospect has opted to pledge his future to the University of Michigan.
This decision comes as a massive surprise to fans and analysts alike, as Texas had long been considered the frontrunner in his recruitment. The program invested significant time and resources into securing his commitment, and many believed his verbal pledge was firm. Texas’s NIL collective was reportedly prepared to offer one of the most lucrative deals in college football history for a high school recruit, totaling nearly $9 million.
- Alabama and Georgia, two other perennial national championship contenders, also made aggressive pushes to land the quarterback. Both schools have been consistent in developing top-tier talent and producing NFL-ready quarterbacks. Their track records made them logical destinations for a player of his caliber, yet neither was able to sway him in the end.
