Shockwave in College Football: 5-Star WR Jerome Myle Flips to Texas A&M, Snubs USC, LSU, Texas & Georgia
In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the college football landscape, 5-star wide receiver Jerome Myle has officially flipped his commitment to Texas A&M, turning down powerhouse programs like USC, LSU, Texas, and Georgia. Myle, widely regarded as one of the top offensive prospects in the 2025 class, made the announcement via social media, stating that after “careful reflection and conversations with family and mentors,” he believed College Station was the right place to grow both on and off the field.
Myle, a dynamic playmaker with elite speed, precise route-running ability, and impressive hands, had long been considered a heavy lean toward USC or Texas. With deep ties to the West Coast and multiple visits to Austin and Baton Rouge, few analysts expected the Aggies to pull off the flip. However, under head coach Mike Elko and a revamped recruiting strategy, Texas A&M has made significant strides in attracting top-tier talent—and Myle’s commitment is now the crown jewel of their 2025 recruiting class.
Standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing around 190 pounds, Myle has drawn comparisons to NFL stars like CeeDee Lamb and Garrett Wilson. His junior season stat line—75 receptions, 1,320 yards, and 17 touchdowns—speaks to his dominance on the field. Recruiters praised not only his athleticism but also his leadership and football IQ, noting that he could make an immediate impact as a freshman.
The decision has major implications for all programs involved. USC, who had long courted Myle as a key piece for Lincoln Riley’s high-powered offense, now finds itself scrambling to fill a significant gap in its 2025 class. Georgia and LSU, both perennial SEC contenders, were also in the final running, and Texas—Myle’s in-state favorite—will be particularly disappointed by the late reversal.
For Texas A&M, however, the momentum is undeniable. After an underwhelming 2024 campaign, this commitment signifies a possible turning point in the Elko era. Myle’s decision is also a huge boost to the Aggies’ national recruiting perception, demonstrating that they can not only compete with but beat out blue-blood programs for elite talent.
Insiders credit wide receivers coach Holmon Wiggins and offensive coordinator Collin Klein for sealing the deal. According to reports, they made a strong final push that emphasized player development, offensive vision, and a clear path to the NFL. It’s believed that Myle was particularly drawn to the opportunity to become the face of a rebuilding program, rather than just another star in an already-stacked depth chart elsewhere.
As recruiting continues to evolve in the NIL era, this kind of high-profile flip serves as a reminder that no commitment is ever truly final until signing day. For now, Texas A&M fans can celebrate what could be a program-defining win—and one that might just signal a new era of Aggie football dominance.
