Georgia Bulldogs 5-Star Commit Stuns College Football World with Decision to Flip and Join Michigan Wolverines Over Alabama, Georgia Bulldogs and Ohio State….
In a stunning twist that has shaken the college football landscape, 5-star Georgia Bulldogs commit Justin Thompson has flipped his commitment to the Michigan Wolverines, choosing Ann Arbor over perennial powerhouses Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State. Thompson, a top-ranked defensive back in the 2025 class, had been a solid Georgia pledge for months, and many believed his recruitment was all but closed. However, a late official visit to Michigan and a strong push from head coach Sherrone Moore changed everything.
Sources close to Thompson say the Wolverines’ player development, academic strength, and recent College Football Playoff appearances played major roles in his decision. “It just felt like home,” Thompson said in a statement. “Coach Moore and the staff have a vision that I want to be part of.”
The flip is a major win for Michigan’s 2025 recruiting class and a tough blow to Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs, who rarely lose in-state blue-chip talent. It also underscores the shifting recruiting dynamics in college football, where NIL opportunities, coaching relationships, and long-term development increasingly sway elite prospects. With this commitment, Michigan sends a clear message: they’re ready to compete at the highest level—on and off the field.
