BREAKING: 5-Star Tight End Oscar Delp Flips Commitment from Georgia to Florida Gators in Shocking Decision
Gainesville, FL — July 3, 2025
In a stunning twist that has rocked the college football recruiting landscape, 5-star tight end Oscar Delp (6’5”, 245 lbs) has officially decommitted from the Georgia Bulldogs and announced his commitment to the Florida Gators, per an exclusive ESPN report. Delp, widely regarded as the nation’s top tight end prospect, made the announcement Wednesday evening via a social media post that simply read, “Swamp Life. Let’s work. #Committed.”
The decision comes just weeks after Delp reaffirmed his verbal pledge to Georgia during a camp appearance in Athens. However, sources close to the recruitment say a late push from Florida head coach Billy Napier and offensive coordinator Ryan O’Hara proved too persuasive to resist. The Gators reportedly emphasized Delp’s immediate role in their new pro-style offense and the success of former tight ends in the NFL.
Florida beat out fierce competition from Florida State and LSU, both of which had Delp on official visits this summer. The Seminoles were considered the frontrunner just days ago after a strong recruiting pitch from head coach Mike Norvell, but the Gators sealed the deal with a final campus visit that “blew Delp and his family away,” according to a team source.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Oscar to the Gator family,” said Coach Napier in a brief statement. “He’s a generational talent at tight end and the kind of high-character leader we’re building this program around.”
Delp is expected to enroll early in Gainesville and is projected to be a day-one contributor. His flip marks a major recruiting victory for Florida and a bitter loss for rival Georgia as the SEC arms race heats up heading into the 2026 season.
