BREAKING NEWS: 5-Star QB Stuns Florida State by Flipping Commitment to LSU Over Georgia and Miami
In a shocking turn of events on the recruiting trail, five-star quarterback Jayden Mitchell has officially flipped his commitment from Florida State to LSU, sending ripples across the college football landscape. Mitchell, widely regarded as one of the top signal-callers in the 2025 class, had been committed to the Seminoles since last fall but reopened his recruitment last week amid growing interest from several SEC powerhouses.
The 6-foot-3, 210-pound dual-threat QB out of Buford, Georgia, had recently taken unofficial visits to Georgia, Miami, and LSU. Many insiders believed the in-state Bulldogs or the Hurricanes would be the favorites to land him if he decommitted, but Mitchell surprised fans and analysts alike by announcing his commitment to Brian Kelly’s Tigers late Monday night via social media.
“LSU felt like home the moment I stepped on campus,” Mitchell said. “The culture, the coaching staff, and the opportunity to compete in the SEC—it all just felt right.”
Mitchell’s decision is a major coup for LSU, giving the Tigers a potential future star at the most important position. Known for his rocket arm, quick decision-making, and poise under pressure, Mitchell has drawn comparisons to former LSU standout Joe Burrow.
Florida State, coming off a strong 2024 season, now finds itself scrambling to fill the void left by Mitchell’s departure. The flip also intensifies the ongoing recruiting battle between the SEC and ACC, particularly for elite talent in the Southeast.
With National Signing Day still months away, Mitchell’s move is a reminder that in the high-stakes world of college football recruiting, nothing is certain until the ink is dry. Will other dominoes fall as a result of this bombshell? Stay tuned.
