Breaking News: Five-Star Recruit Stuns College Football World, Rejects $6.7M NIL Deal, Decommits from Kansas State and Flips to Oklahoma Over Notre Dame and…
In a shocking turn of events, five-star football phenom Jayden Rivers has flipped his commitment from Kansas State to the Oklahoma Sooners, sending shockwaves across the college football landscape. The 18-year-old quarterback, considered one of the top recruits in the nation, reportedly turned down a staggering $6.7 million NIL package offered to keep him committed to Kansas State.
Rivers had previously pledged allegiance to the Wildcats, a decision that surprised many in the recruiting world. But in a late-night social media post, he announced his decommitment, thanking Kansas State for their support before revealing his commitment to Oklahoma, citing “a better fit both athletically and academically.”
The Sooners landed Rivers over recruiting powerhouses Notre Dame and Georgia, both of whom had made aggressive pushes in recent weeks.
Sources close to Rivers say the decision was driven more by long-term development and NFL potential than short-term financial gain. Oklahoma fans are celebrating the massive pickup, while rival programs scramble to recover from the unexpected flip.
This move further underscores the unpredictable nature of modern recruiting, where tradition, coaching, and fit still sometimes outweigh the dollar signs.
