BREAKING: Alabama Lands Coveted 5-Star Prospect Ethan Thompson After Dramatic Flip from Texas Longhorns, Sending Shockwaves Through College Football
In a stunning turn of events, five-star wide receiver Ethan Thompson has decommitted from the Texas Longhorns and pledged his commitment to the Alabama Crimson Tide. The 6’2″, 195-pound playmaker from Miami, Florida, had previously chosen Texas over elite programs like Ohio State, Georgia, and Tennessee . His unexpected flip to Alabama has sent shockwaves through the college football recruiting landscape.
Thompson’s decision comes as a significant boost to Alabama’s already impressive 2025 recruiting class. Known for his exceptional speed, precise route running, and ability to make contested catches, Thompson is expected to make an immediate impact in Tuscaloosa. His commitment adds to Alabama’s reputation for developing top-tier wide receivers, following in the footsteps of recent NFL stars like Jerry Jeudy and DeVonta Smith.
The flip also underscores the competitive nature of college football recruiting, where programs are constantly vying for top talent. Alabama’s ability to secure Thompson’s commitment highlights the program’s continued dominance in attracting elite prospects.
As National Signing Day approaches, all eyes will be on Alabama to see how Thompson integrates into their offensive scheme and contributes to the team’s success in the coming seasons. His addition is poised to elevate Alabama’s already high-powered offense and further solidify their position as a national championship contender.
