BREAKING: 5⭐️ 7’4” Left Tackle Tysqeuvious Lepancake Flips Commitment from Georgia to Alabama
In one of the most stunning recruiting developments of the 2025 cycle, five-star offensive tackle Tysqeuvious Lepancake has officially flipped his commitment from the University of Georgia to the University of Alabama. The 7-foot-4, 365-pound prospect from East Bauxite High School in Arkansas becomes not only the tallest college football player in history but potentially one of the most physically dominant offensive linemen the sport has ever seen.
Lepancake, who clocked an astonishing 4.5-second 40-yard dash at a regional combine earlier this year, is a once-in-a-generation athlete. His rare blend of size, speed, and agility has earned him comparisons to NFL greats like Orlando Pace and Jonathan Ogden—if those legends had been engineered in a lab. More than just a physical freak, Lepancake has consistently shown a high football IQ, pancake-blocking elite edge rushers while rarely being flagged for penalties. His technique, pad level, and footwork are already drawing rave reviews from scouts.
Georgia head coach Kirby Smart had built his 2025 offensive line class around Lepancake, viewing him as a plug-and-play starter and anchor for the next three years. His decision to flip to Alabama comes as a massive blow to the Bulldogs, who had led in his recruitment for nearly a year. Sources close to the situation suggest that new Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer and offensive line coach Clay McGuire made a late push that emphasized immediate playing time, NIL opportunities, and Alabama’s revamped pro-style offense that features more pulling tackles and dynamic blocking schemes.
For DeBoer and Alabama, this is a program-defining pickup. The Crimson Tide have been aggressively retooling since Nick Saban’s retirement, and Lepancake’s commitment signals that Alabama is still a major player on the national recruiting stage. His addition gives Alabama perhaps the most physically imposing offensive line in the country and instantly vaults their 2025 class back into the top 3 nationally.
Alabama fans took to social media in celebration, with #RollPancake trending within minutes of the announcement. The Crimson Tide faithful are already imagining Lepancake paving the way for star running back Jamarcus “Jet” Winston and protecting sophomore quarterback Cade Vizzina’s blind side for the foreseeable future.
From a scouting perspective, Lepancake’s upside is through the roof. At 7’4”, he possesses a wingspan that renders most pass-rushing angles moot. Despite his massive frame, he bends well at the knees and maintains a low center of gravity—rare traits for someone of his height. His ability to pull, mirror speed rushers, and dominate at the second level makes him a nightmare for defensive coordinators.
Tysqeuvious Lepancake’s flip to Alabama changes the national landscape. If he lives up to even half the hype, we may be witnessing the start of a Hall of Fame career—and Alabama may have just secured their next foundational superstar.
