BREAKING NEWS: 5-Star QB Stuns Florida State by Decommitting, Flips Commitment to LSU Tigers Over Georgia and Miami

 

In a shocking twist that’s sending shockwaves through the college football recruiting world, 5-star quarterback phenom Jalen Reeves has officially decommitted from Florida State University and announced his commitment to LSU, bypassing offers from powerhouse programs like Georgia and Miami.

 

Reeves, ranked among the top three quarterbacks in the 2025 class, made the announcement via a social media post on Tuesday morning, ending weeks of speculation about a possible flip. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound signal-caller out of Buford, Georgia, had been committed to Florida State since August 2024. However, rumblings of uncertainty began surfacing earlier this spring as Reeves took multiple unofficial visits to LSU, Georgia, and Miami.

 

“I want to thank Florida State for believing in me from the beginning, but after much prayer, conversations with my family, and personal reflection, I’ve decided to flip my commitment to LSU,” Reeves said in his announcement. “Baton Rouge feels like home, and I’m excited to be a Tiger.”

 

Florida State coaches were reportedly blindsided by the move. The Seminoles had invested heavily in Reeves’ recruitment and had built their 2025 offensive class around him. With this decommitment, the team will now have to regroup and re-evaluate their quarterback targets before the early signing period.

 

LSU, meanwhile, secures one of the biggest recruiting coups of the year. Under head coach Brian Kelly, the Tigers have built a reputation for developing elite quarterbacks, and Reeves will now be the crown jewel of their 2025 class. LSU fans exploded with excitement across social media platforms, hailing the news as a game-changer for the program’s future.

 

Georgia and Miami, both seen as serious contenders in Reeves’ final decision, now find themselves on the outside looking in. Georgia had hoped to keep the in-state talent home, while Miami pitched an aggressive NIL package and early playing time.

 

Recruiting insiders suggest LSU’s persistent communication, Reeves’ connection with offensive coordinator Joe Sloan, and the Tigers’ upward momentum in the SEC played key roles in the flip.

 

This marks the second high-profile quarterback flip of the 2025 cycle and could shift the balance of power in future SEC and ACC matchups. With Reeves now heading to Baton Rouge, LSU gains a field general with elite arm strength, mobility, and poise under pressure.

 

The fallout for Florida State could be significant, while LSU surges forward with a renewed sense of optimism and swagger.

 

As the recruiting drama continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the Tigers just landed a game-changer.
