Breaking: 5-Star QB Therrian Alexander Decommits from BYU, Chooses Miami Over Penn State and Others
In a stunning turn of events, five-star quarterback Therrian Alexander has decommitted from BYU and announced his commitment to the Miami Hurricanes, shaking up the college football recruiting landscape. The highly touted signal-caller from Los Angeles, California, had been pledged to the Cougars for nearly a year but reopened his recruitment late last week before making his decision official.
Alexander, ranked among the top quarterbacks in the 2025 class, was heavily pursued by Penn State, Oregon, and Texas A&M, but ultimately, Miami made the strongest impression.
“After a lot of prayer and discussions with my family, I’ve decided to decommit from BYU and take my talents to the University of Miami,” Alexander announced in a social media post. “I appreciate everything BYU has done for me, but I feel like Miami is the best place for my future.”
Miami head coach Mario Cristobal and offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson played key roles in securing the commitment, selling Alexander on the Hurricanes’ pro-style offense, NIL opportunities, and their vision for returning Miami to national prominence.
Alexander’s decision is a massive win for the Hurricanes, who now land their highest-rated QB commit since Brad Kaaya. With a strong arm, elite pocket presence, and dual-threat ability, he is expected to compete for the starting role early in his career.
For BYU, the loss is significant, as Alexander was seen as a potential program-changing recruit. The Cougars now scramble to find a replacement with National Signing Day approaching.
Meanwhile, Miami fans are celebrating what could be a game-changing addition to their 2025 roster, hoping Alexander is the quarterback to bring them back to college football’s elite.
