In a surprising turn of events, Jaydon Blue, the No. 1 ranked running back in the 2025 class, has decommitted from the Texas Longhorns and flipped his commitment to the Georgia Bulldogs. Blue had previously committed to Texas in 2024, but after a period of reevaluating his options, he chose to join the defending national champions over other top contenders such as Auburn and Alabama.
Blue, a dynamic and highly coveted prospect from the Houston area, has been one of the most talked-about players in his class. His decision to flip has sent shockwaves through college football recruiting circles, especially given the strength of Texas’ football program and their commitment to building a strong future under head coach Steve Sarkisian. However, it seems the allure of Georgia’s recent success, its tradition of developing elite running backs, and its stable coaching staff ultimately proved to be too much for Blue to ignore.
Georgia’s rise in recent years, winning back-to-back national championships, has made the Bulldogs an even more attractive destination for top recruits. The program’s ability to develop talent at the running back position, including stars like Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, and more recently, Kendall Milton, likely played a pivotal role in Blue’s decision.
While Auburn and Alabama were also in the mix, Blue’s commitment to Georgia solidifies the Bulldogs’ position as a powerhouse in college football recruiting. This flip serves as a major win for Kirby Smart and his staff, further strengthening Georgia’s reputation as a top destination for elite talent. Blue’s decision will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the 2025 class and could shape the landscape of college football recruiting for years to come.
