5-Star QB Stuns College Football World with Shocking Decommitment from Mountaineer, Flips Commitment to LSU tigers Over Powerhouses Penn State, Tennessee…
In a stunning twist that’s sending shockwaves through the college football world, five-star quarterback phenom Jalen Rivers has officially decommitted from West Virginia and flipped his commitment to LSU. The unexpected move comes after months of firm ties to the Mountaineers, where Rivers was expected to be the face of their future. Instead, he now pledges allegiance to Brian Kelly’s Tigers, choosing LSU over elite programs like Penn State and Tennessee.
Rivers, widely considered one of the top dual-threat QBs in the 2025 class, cited LSU’s offensive system and NFL pipeline as major factors in his decision. The Tigers’ recent recruiting surge and SEC dominance added to the allure. His decommitment is a massive blow to West Virginia, whose fanbase is reeling, while Baton Rouge is buzzing with championship dreams. With Rivers in the fold, LSU’s 2025 class vaults into top-tier contention nationally.
This flip underscores the high-stakes drama of modern recruiting, where decisions are strategic, personal, and rarely final. One thing is certain: the Tigers just landed a game-changer.
