In a stunning turn of events, four-star quarterback Rocco Becht has decommitted from Iowa State and announced his commitment to the Arkansas Razorbacks. The news sent shockwaves through college football, as Becht was heavily courted by programs like Vanderbilt, NC State, and others before ultimately choosing Arkansas.
Becht, ranked as one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting class, initially pledged to Iowa State earlier this year. However, his decision to flip commitments reflects a desire to join a program that aligns with his vision for development and success. Sources close to the situation suggest that Arkansas’ coaching staff, led by head coach Sam Pittman and offensive coordinator Dan Enos, played a pivotal role in securing Becht’s commitment.
The Razorbacks have been aggressive on the recruiting trail, and Becht’s decision could mark a turning point for their 2025 recruiting class. Known for his arm strength, mobility, and football IQ, Becht is expected to be a game-changer in Arkansas’ offensive schemes.
In a statement, Becht expressed his excitement about joining the Razorbacks, saying, “After much prayer and discussion with my family, I’m thrilled to commit to Arkansas. The coaches have a clear vision for my development, and I believe Fayetteville is where I can thrive both on and off the field.”
Becht’s commitment is a significant loss for Iowa State, which had viewed him as a cornerstone for their future. The Cyclones will now look to regroup in their search for a top-tier quarterback.
Meanwhile, Arkansas fans are celebrating the addition of one of the most promising recruits in the nation, a move that could bolster their standing in the SEC and set the stage for future success.
