NO. 1 PLAYER FROM TEXAS FLIPS COMMITMENT TO FLORIDA GATORS IN STUNNING BOMBSHELL DECISION OVER ALABAMA AND GEORGIA
In a dramatic recruiting twist that has sent shockwaves through the college football world, the No. 1 high school football player from Texas, five-star wide receiver Jaylen “Jet” Harrison, has officially flipped his commitment from the Georgia Bulldogs to the Florida Gators, stunning both Alabama and Georgia fans alike.
The 6-foot-3, 195-pound phenom from Duncanville High School had long been considered a near lock for the SEC powerhouse Bulldogs, having committed during the summer following his junior season. Alabama also made a strong push late, even bringing in Nick Saban himself for a private in-home visit last month. But none of that mattered once Florida entered the picture.
According to sources close to Harrison’s camp, Florida head coach Billy Napier and his new offensive coordinator, former NFL play-caller Kevin Wilson, orchestrated an aggressive last-minute pitch that focused on one thing: building the offense around Harrison from Day 1. The Gators’ promise of immediate playing time, paired with a lucrative NIL package reportedly valued at $2.3 million over three years, tipped the scales in Gainesville’s favor.
“I love Georgia and respect what Coach Smart has built, but something about Florida just felt right,” Harrison said during his surprise press conference. “I want to help put Florida back on top. I want to build a legacy.”
The decision sent social media into a frenzy. Florida fans erupted in celebration, while Georgia and Alabama supporters expressed a mix of disbelief and frustration. Recruiting analysts now rank Florida’s 2025 class among the top five nationally, largely thanks to Harrison’s flip.
This marks the second time in three years that Florida has landed a top-5 national recruit out of Texas — a state traditionally dominated by SEC rivals and Big 12 schools.
Whether this move signals the resurgence of the Florida Gators or simply a single recruiting coup remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: Jaylen Harrison is headed to The Swamp, and the SEC just got a whole lot more interesting.
