Breaking : The college football recruiting landscape, four-star quarterback Austin Mack has decommitted from the Alabama Crimson Tide and committed to the Texas Longhorns.

This decision comes after Mack’s brief tenure at Alabama, where he transferred following his redshirt season at Washington. Mack, originally from Folsom, California, was a top prospect in the 2023 recruiting class and had reclassified to join Washington early .

 

Mack’s move to Texas reunites him with a program he had previously considered during his initial recruitment. The Longhorns had shown interest in Mack, and his familiarity with their offensive system played a role in his decision to flip his commitment . At Texas, Mack is expected to compete for the starting quarterback position, bringing depth and talent to the Longhorns’ quarterback room.

 

This development is a notable gain for Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian, as securing a quarterback of Mack’s caliber strengthens the team’s offensive prospects. For Alabama, Mack’s departure adds to the ongoing adjustments under new head coach Kalen DeBoer, who had brought Mack to Tuscaloosa from Washington .

 

As the 2025 season approaches, all eyes will be on Mack’s integration into the Texas offense and how his presence influences the Longhorns’ performance in the competitive SEC landscape.
