5-Star QB Shocks CFB World: Turns Down $7.3M, Decommits from Colorado, Picks Michigan Over Notre Dame & FSU
In a stunning turn of events that’s sending shockwaves through the college football landscape, 5-star quarterback phenom Jaxon Reddick has officially decommitted from Colorado, rejecting a reported $7.3 million NIL deal, and committed to the Michigan Wolverines. Reddick’s decision comes as a massive coup for head coach Sherrone Moore, beating out powerhouses Notre Dame and Florida State for one of the top prospects in the 2025 class.
Regarded as the No. 1 dual-threat QB in the nation, Reddick had been a vocal supporter of Deion Sanders’ program, making this move even more surprising. Insiders say the young star prioritized long-term development and championship potential over NIL riches. “I want to be part of a legacy, not just a brand,” Reddick stated in a post that quickly went viral.
With Michigan coming off a national title and emphasizing pro-style QB development, Reddick’s choice underscores a shifting tide in recruiting: culture and stability can still outweigh cash. Wolverines fans are ecstatic, and the Big Ten just got a lot more interesting.
