5-Star Edge Isaiah Gibson Commits to Georgia

Fringe 5-Star and 247Sports’ top rated Edge prospect for the Class of 2025 has committed to Kirby Smart and Georgia.

Gibson was previously committed to USC, but Gibson has flipped, and by flipping has now given Georgia the 2nd rated class nationally and the highest rated class in the SEC.

Ole Miss Loses 3 Commitments

4-Star WR Jerome Myles, 4-Star WR Dillon Alfred, and 3-Star Edge Corey Amos all decommitted from Ole Miss’ 2025 class yesterday.

Amos’ decommitment follows an official visit to Tulane.

Alfred’s decommitment follows official visits to Missouri and Arkansas, though he says Ole Miss is still at the top of his board, with Arkansas, Clemson, maybe Missouri, and possibly Texas A&M rounding out his list.

And Myles’ decommitment follows official visits to Utah and Texas A&M, with a Michigan official visit scheduled for July.

With the three decommitments, Ole Miss’ class has fallen to 11th in the SEC and 23rd nationally.

Consensus 4-Star DL Kevin Wynn Commits to Florida State

Consensus 4-Star DL Kevin Wynn has committed to Florida State. 247Sports’ 8th rated defensive lineman in the 2025 class, Wynn committed to Florida State over Georgia, Texas, and South Carolina, among others.

Wynn believes that the people make the place, and the people in place at Florida State are special.

Despite only having 5 commitments for the 2025 class, this commitment already moves the Florida State class up to 18th according to the On3 Composite Team Rankings now, with the 2nd rated class in the ACC.

2026 4-Star QB Brodie McWhorter Commits to West Virginia

Fringe 4-Star QB Brodie McWhorter has committed to West Virginia over Auburn and North Carolina, among others.

McWhorter cited the feeling the coaching staff at West Virginia gives you, making you feel like a top priority, as a large part of the reason for his commitment.

This is West Virginia’s 2nd commitment in the 2026 class, with no other school in the Big 12 having multiple 2026 commitments already.

2026 4-Star QB Jaden O’Neal Commits to Oklahoma

Consensus 4-Star QB and consensus Top 10 QB in the 2026 class, Jaden O’Neal, has committed to Oklahoma.

Oklahoma landed O’Neal over Florida State, Miami, and Washington, with O’Neal noting Oklahoma’s history of developing quarterbacks and allow O’Neal’s development to go to the next level.

O’Neal is Oklahoma’s 3rd commitment and 3rd 4-Star in the 2026 class – a hot start for the Sooners future class.

4-Star Edge Zion Grady Commits to Ohio State

Consensus 4-star Edge Zion Grady and overall Top 100 prospect committed to Ohio State following his official visit this weekend. Grady committed to Ohio State over Florida State and Tennessee, among others.

Listed by Rivals as their 3rd highest rated edge and by ESPN as their 45th overall prospect, Grady is another elite, blue-chip talent to join Ohio State’s top-ranked 2025 class.

Borderline 5-Star IOL Douglas Utu Commits to Tennessee

Borderline 5-star IOL Douglas Utu committed to the Volunteers following his official visit to Knoxville this weekend.

Rated a 5-star by ESPN and Rivals, Utu chose Tennessee over Nebraska, Michigan, Alabama, and Washington, among others.

This commitment brings Tennessee’s class to 12th nationally and 7th in the SEC.

4-Star IOL Chauncey Gooden commits to Colorado

Colorado has landed the commitment of 4-star and Top 25 OL Chauncey Gooden. Gooden’s commitment comes after his visit to Colorado this past weekend.

Gooden chose the Buffaloes, primarily over Clemson as well as Tennessee, to a lesser extent. This is only the 4th commitment for Colorado in the 2025 class, which ranks 70th nationally and 16 out of 16 in the new-look Big 12.

4-Star WR Jacob Washington Commits to Michigan

Fringe 4-Star WR Jacob Washington committed to Michigan following his official visit this weekend.

The Wolverines beat out Georgia Tech, Missouri, Mississippi State, Baylor, and others for Washington’s commitment.

This brings Michigan’s 2025 class to 13th nationally and 4th in the Big Ten.

4-Star LB Jonathan Epperson Commits to Washington

4-Star LB Jonathan Epperson committed to Washington after his official visit this weekend.

Epperson chose Washington while also having offers to some large Big Ten programs, like USC, Oregon, Penn State, among others.

Epperson is a consensus Top 3 prospect from the state of Washington, making this a big win for the Huskies to keep the linebacker home.

This marks the 13th commitment for the 2025 class for Washington, which is currently ranked 36th in the country and 11th in the new-look Big Ten.
