The highly sought-after prospect, who had been a centerpiece of South Carolina’s 2024 recruiting class, also turned down offers from powerhouse programs like Georgia and Alabama in a stunning twist.
In a social media post that quickly went viral, the dynamic playmaker revealed his decision:
“After much thought and prayer, I have decided to reopen my recruitment and officially commit to the University of Oklahoma. Thank you to all the coaches and programs that believed in me. Boomer Sooner!”
This flip marks a significant win for Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables, who has been working tirelessly to secure elite talent as the Sooners transition to the SEC next season. The addition of the 5-star back is expected to provide an immediate boost to Oklahoma’s offense, solidifying their backfield with a versatile, game-changing talent.
For the Gamecocks, this news comes as a major blow.Rumors of uncertainty surrounding his commitment had circulated in recent weeks, but few expected such a high-profile flip.
The decision also adds another layer of intrigue to Oklahoma’s rivalry with Georgia, as the Bulldogs had reportedly been in strong contention for the running back’s commitment.
This shocking development highlights the unpredictable nature of recruiting and underscores the Sooners’ growing momentum as they prepare for their SEC debut. For South Carolina, the search for a replacement begins immediately, but losing a player of this caliber is no easy fix.
