Breaking News: Five-Star QB Prospect Shockingly Decommits from Bills, Rejects $250 Million Michigan Wolverines Offer to Commit to Ohio State
In a stunning turn of events, five-star quarterback prospect **Jake Matthews** has officially decommitted from the Buffalo Bills and turned down a record-breaking **$250 million NIL offer** from the Michigan Wolverines to commit to their archrival, the **Ohio State Buckeyes**.
The 18-year-old phenom, widely considered the top quarterback in the country, had initially pledged his future to the Bills as part of their newly introduced NFL Development Program, but after months of speculation, he has instead opted for college football. The biggest shock came when he rejected Michigan’s unprecedented NIL deal—by far the largest in college sports history—to instead suit up in scarlet and gray.
“This decision wasn’t about money—it was about legacy,” Matthews said in a statement. “Ohio State has a history of producing elite quarterbacks, and I want to be the next great Buckeye.”
The move is a crushing blow to Michigan, which had hoped to solidify its dominance under head coach Sherrone Moore. Meanwhile, Ryan Day and the Buckeyes now land a generational talent who could shift the balance of power in the Big Ten for years to come.
Matthews’ commitment also raises questions about the ever-growing influence of NIL deals in college football. Many expected the massive Michigan offer to be too good to refuse, but Matthews’ choice proves that some top prospects are still prioritizing development and championships over financial incentives.
With this decision, the college football world braces for another chapter in the legendary **Michigan-Ohio State rivalry**—and Buckeye fans have every reason to celebrate.
