5-Star QB Recruit Stuns College Football World with Shocking Decommitment from North Texas, Flips to Oklahoma Sooners
In a stunning turn of events that sent shockwaves across the college football landscape, five-star quarterback phenom Jordan Mitchell announced his decommitment from North Texas late Friday night — only to reveal moments later that he has flipped his commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners.
Mitchell, widely regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 class, originally committed to North Texas last year, surprising many who expected him to join a more prominent Power Five program. His loyalty to the Mean Green was seen as a major recruiting coup for the program, but that dream came to a sudden halt this weekend.
In a heartfelt social media post, Mitchell thanked North Texas for believing in him but said he ultimately had to “follow a different path.”
“After much thought and prayer, I’ve decided to decommit from North Texas,” Mitchell wrote. “I will always appreciate the love and support from the coaching staff and fans. However, after discussing with my family and mentors, I have decided to commit to the University of Oklahoma. I’m excited for this next chapter and ready to chase greatness with the Sooners!”
Sources close to Mitchell indicated that while he had genuine affection for North Texas, the allure of competing at a national powerhouse like Oklahoma — along with the opportunity to develop under new head coach Brent Venables and offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby — proved too much to pass up.
Oklahoma beat out several other elite programs, including Alabama, Georgia, and Texas, who had made strong late pushes for Mitchell’s services. His flip instantly solidifies Oklahoma’s 2025 class as one of the strongest in the nation and positions the Sooners as serious contenders for future College Football Playoff appearances.
Mitchell, standing at 6’4″ and weighing 215 pounds, has been praised for his rocket arm, pinpoint accuracy, and elite pocket presence. Many scouts compare him to current NFL stars, citing his maturity and leadership qualities both on and off the field.
The decommitment is a devastating blow to North Texas, whose hopes of building a program around a generational talent like Mitchell have now evaporated. Still, Mean Green head coach Eric Morris expressed support for Mitchell’s decision, posting on X, “Jordan is an incredible young man with a bright future. We wish him nothing but success at Oklahoma.”
For Oklahoma, the timing could not be better. With the Sooners preparing for their first full season in the SEC, the addition of a dynamic talent like Mitchell could be the difference-maker they need to return to national championship contention.
The college football world will be watching closely as Mitchell’s journey continues — now wearing crimson and cream.
