    Breaking News : Five-Star QB Shocks College Football World by Turning Down $8.5 Million, Decommits from Florida and Flips Commitment Oklahoma Sooner Over Notre Dame and Florida State Seminole…

    In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves throughout the college football world, five-star quarterback phenom Jalen Richards has decommitted from the University of Florida and announced his commitment to the University of Oklahoma, turning down a reported $8.5 million in NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) offers in the process.

    The 18-year-old signal caller from Buford, Georgia, ranked as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback in the 2025 class by multiple recruiting services, made the announcement via a live-streamed press conference late Friday evening. Richards, known for his poise, arm strength, and high football IQ, was previously considered the centerpiece of Florida’s future under head coach Billy Napier.

    “This decision isn’t about money,” Richards said. “It’s about where I feel I can grow the most as a player and as a man. After long conversations with my family, my coaches, and with Coach [Brent] Venables and the staff at Oklahoma, I knew that Norman is the place for me.”

    Sources close to the recruitment say Richards turned down upwards of $8.5 million in combined NIL offers from boosters and collectives tied to both Florida and Florida State. Notre Dame, long considered a strong contender due to its academic prestige and quarterback tradition, was also reportedly in the final mix.

    What makes the decision even more surprising is Richards’ sudden shift just weeks after reaffirming his commitment to the Gators during a televised interview. His flip represents one of the biggest late-stage recruiting twists in recent memory and is a massive win for Oklahoma’s rising offensive juggernaut under new offensive coordinator Seth Littrell.

    Oklahoma’s 2025 class, already ranked in the top five nationally, now gets a seismic boost with Richards at the helm. The Sooners, preparing for their second season in the SEC, now boast a quarterback room that rivals any in the nation.

    “This is a game-changing commitment,” said 247Sports analyst Mike Wiltfong. “Turning down that kind of NIL money tells you he’s serious about development and legacy.”

    Florida, meanwhile, is left scrambling just weeks before official visits heat up, while both Notre Dame and Florida State will likely revisit their QB boards heading into the summer.

    One thing is certain: Jalen Richards’ decision has redrawn the recruiting map — and all eyes will be on Norman this fall.
