BREAKING: Top 2025 Oklahoma Big Man Decommits and Flips Commitment to Michigan Wolverines Over Alabama, Auburn, and Georgia.
In a stunning turn of events, top recruit and highly sought-after big man from Oklahoma, Jordan O’Neil, has announced his decommitment from his previous verbal commitment to Alabama and has officially flipped to the Michigan Wolverines. The announcement sent shockwaves through the college football recruiting landscape as O’Neil had previously been a top target for several powerhouse programs, including Auburn and Georgia.
O’Neil, a 6’8″, 320-pound offensive lineman, is considered one of the best prospects in the 2025 class and has been generating buzz for his impressive combine performances and standout high school play. His decision to join the Wolverines comes after a series of visits and meetings with Michigan’s coaching staff which reportedly resonated with him on both a personal and athletic level.
“I’m incredibly excited to announce my commitment to Michigan,” O’Neil stated in a social media post. “They have a rich tradition, a winning culture, and a coaching staff that sincerely invests in their players. I believe this is the best place for me to develop my skills and make an impact on the field.”
This unexpected move also highlights Michigan’s growing momentum in recruiting, particularly as the Wolverines aim to reclaim their place among college football’s elite programs. Head Coach Jim Harbaugh has been heavily focused on building a strong offensive line, and O’Neil’s commitment reinforces that strategy.
Both Alabama and Auburn expressed their disappointment over the news, with Alabama’s head coach saying, “We respected Jordan’s decision to explore his options, and we wish him the best in his future endeavors. He is a talented player, and his abilities will surely be missed.” The loss of O’Neil is a significant blow for the Crimson Tide, who were hoping to bolster their offensive line with the addition of one of the top prospects in the nation.
For O’Neil, the move to Michigan is about more than just football; he’s looking forward to becoming a part of the Wolverines’ storied history and contributing to their success on and off the field. As the 2025 recruiting class continues to take shape, expect this news to reverberate as teams adjust their strategies to compensate for the growing talent pool in Michigan.
With O’Neil’s commitment now official, all eyes will be on how this influential decision impacts recruiting dynamics in the Southeastern Conference and beyond as football programs vie for the attention of elite prospects in the coming months.
