BREAKING: Five-Star WR Jayden Gibson Decommits from Oklahoma, Flips Commitment to Georgia
In a shocking turn of events, five-star wide receiver Jayden Gibson has decommitted from the University of Oklahoma, officially flipping his commitment to the University of Georgia. Gibson, a highly sought-after recruit in the 2024 class, made the announcement on social media earlier today, leaving Sooners fans stunned and reeling from the unexpected decision.
The 6-foot-5, 200-pound wide receiver, who hails from Florida, had originally committed to Oklahoma back in April 2023. Gibson had been a key part of the Sooners’ 2024 recruiting class, and his commitment was seen as a major win for the program. However, in recent months, speculation about his recruitment intensified as multiple schools, including Georgia, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt, began to make a push for his services.
In a statement, Gibson explained his decision to switch allegiances, citing Georgia’s recent success and its strong track record of developing wide receivers. “I’m incredibly grateful for everything Oklahoma has done for me, but after reflecting on my future and what will be best for my development as a player, I’ve decided to commit to Georgia,” Gibson said. “Their offense and the chance to learn under their coaching staff is an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.”
The Bulldogs, who have emerged as a powerhouse in college football, have built an impressive recruiting class for 2024, and Gibson’s commitment adds another elite weapon to their already loaded roster. With the commitment of Gibson, Georgia further solidifies its position as one of the top teams in the nation and a favorite to compete for national championships in the years to come.
Gibson’s flip is a major blow to Oklahoma, but it also highlights the ever-shifting dynamics of college football recruiting, as top prospects continue to explore their options up until the final moments before sig
