Breaking news: Five-Star Recruit Shocks College Football, Rejects $6.7 Million to Flip Commitment to LSU.
In a stunning move that has rocked the college football world, five-star recruit [Player Name] has decommitted from TCU and committed to LSU, turning down a reported $6.7 million NIL offer in the process. The elite prospect, considered one of the top players in the 2025 recruiting class, was also heavily pursued by Notre Dame and Georgia but ultimately chose to play for Brian Kelly and the Tigers.
[Player Name], a [position] from [High School Name] in [City, State], originally committed to TCU last year, drawn by the Horned Frogs’ rising program and potential NIL opportunities. However, after a whirlwind recruitment battle, he stunned the college football world by announcing his decision to flip to LSU, citing the program’s tradition, development of NFL talent, and fit within the Tigers’ system.
“LSU just felt like home,” [Player Name] said in a statement. “I want to be developed at the highest level and compete for national championships. Coach Kelly and his staff have a plan for me, and I believe in what they’re building.”
The most shocking aspect of the decision is his rejection of a massive $6.7 million NIL package, reportedly offered by a rival school. With NIL deals playing a growing role in recruiting, many assumed he would follow the money. Instead, his commitment to LSU shows that player development, coaching, and winning culture still hold weight in recruiting battles.
This commitment is a massive win for LSU, strengthening its already elite 2025 class. Meanwhile, TCU, Notre Dame, and Georgia will have to look elsewhere to fill the gap left by one of the most sought-after recruits in the nation.
