Just In: 5-Star QB Stuns College Football World with Shocking Decommitment from Michigan, Flips to Arizona State Over Penn State, Tennessee, and Georgia
In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves across the college football landscape, 5-star quarterback phenom Jaxon Prescott has officially decommitted from the University of Michigan and flipped his commitment to Arizona State University. The decision, announced via a surprise social media post late Wednesday night, has left fans and analysts alike scrambling for answers.
Prescott, widely considered one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting class, had been a cornerstone of Michigan’s future. With offers from virtually every blue-blood program in the country, the expectation was that Prescott would either remain loyal to Jim Harbaugh’s successor or potentially jump to another perennial powerhouse like Penn State, Tennessee, or the defending SEC champions, Georgia.
Instead, the Arizona native shocked the recruiting world by committing to Kenny Dillingham and the Arizona State Sun Devils — a program that has struggled in recent years but has recently gained momentum with a wave of aggressive recruiting and a renewed focus on high-octane offense.
“I’ve prayed on this, talked with my family, and followed my heart. Arizona State is home,” Prescott said in his announcement. “Coach Dillingham is building something special, and I want to be the one to lead it.”
Prescott’s flip marks one of the biggest recruiting wins in Arizona State history and is already being hailed as a program-altering moment. Social media erupted within minutes of the announcement, with Michigan fans expressing disbelief and frustration, while Sun Devil faithful celebrated what could be the beginning of a new era in Tempe.
Meanwhile, Penn State, Tennessee, and Georgia — all considered finalists — are left reevaluating their QB recruiting strategies for the 2025 class. As one SEC insider put it: “This is the kind of move that could change the trajectory of college football in the next five years.”
Only time will tell if Prescott’s bold move will pay off — but for now, Tempe is the epicenter of the college football world.
