π¨ BREAKING: 5-Star WR Shocks Ohio State with Decommitment, Flips to Tennessee Over Alabama and Georgia
In a stunning recruiting twist that has rocked the college football world, 5-star wide receiver phenom Jaylen Thompson has officially decommitted from Ohio State and announced his commitment to the Tennessee Volunteers β turning down powerhouse programs Alabama and Georgia in the process.
Thompson, ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver in the nation and a top-10 overall prospect, made the shocking announcement via a dramatic video posted on social media. With fans from three blue-blood programs holding their breath, Thompson pulled a Tennessee cap from beneath the table, grinned, and said, βIβm bringing the fire to Rocky Top.β
This seismic flip is being hailed as one of the most impactful recruiting coups in recent Tennessee history. The Vols, already building serious momentum under head coach Josh Heupel, now land a game-changing playmaker with elite speed, size, and hands. Analysts are already comparing Thompsonβs skillset to that of former NFL great Julio Jones β and heβs just getting started.
What makes this move even more shocking is that Thompson had been considered a near-lock for Ohio State for months, even visiting Columbus multiple times. Alabama and Georgia made strong late pushes, but Tennesseeβs relentless recruiting, cutting-edge offensive scheme, and promise of immediate playing time ultimately sealed the deal.
βThis just felt like home,β Thompson said in an exclusive interview. βCoach Heupelβs vision and the way the fans show love? Unmatched. Iβm ready to bring a championship to Tennessee.β
For a Vols program aiming to reclaim SEC dominance, this commitment isnβt just a win β itβs a message. Tennessee isnβt just back β theyβre ready to take over.
Rocky Top, get ready. The future just arrived.
