BREAKING: 5-Star QB Jordan Holmes Stuns College Football World, Flips Commitment to Penn State Over Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia
In a shocking turn of events that’s lighting up the recruiting world, 5-star quarterback Jordan Holmes has officially decommitted from his previous program and announced a stunning flip to Penn State, choosing the Nittany Lions over SEC powerhouses Alabama, Tennessee, and the Georgia Bulldogs.
Holmes, widely regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 class, had long been tied to the Southern powerhouse schools and was considered a lock for Georgia just weeks ago. But after a series of quiet visits and behind-the-scenes talks with Coach James Franklin and his staff, Holmes had a change of heart—and a bold one at that.
> “This wasn’t just about football,” Holmes said in his announcement. “It was about where I felt at home, where I could grow as a man, and where I could lead a program back to the top. That place is Penn State.”
Known for his elite arm strength, quick decision-making, and calm under pressure, Holmes is expected to be a day-one difference maker for the Nittany Lions. His commitment immediately vaults Penn State’s 2025 recruiting class into national contention and sends a powerful message to the college football world: Happy Valley is rising.
Sources close to Holmes say Penn State’s player-first culture, offensive system tailored to quarterback development, and strong NIL infrastructure helped seal the deal.
Recruiting insiders are calling it one of the most impactful flips in recent memory.
With Jordan Holmes now headed to Beaver Stadium, the Big Ten East just got a lot more interesting—and the Nittany Lions may have found their next generational QB.
