In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through college football recruiting, five-star quarterback DJ Uiagalelei has officially decommitted from Florida State University (FSU) and flipped his commitment to Louisiana State University (LSU). The highly coveted signal-caller, who had been committed to the Seminoles for nearly a year, made the announcement late last night, leaving fans and analysts alike scrambling to process the decision.
Uiagalelei’s decision to choose LSU over a host of elite programs, including Oregon, Oklahoma, Clemson, and others, is a huge win for Tigers head coach Brian Kelly, who has been aggressively recruiting the top quarterback prospects in the nation. Despite FSU’s efforts to retain their prized commitment, LSU’s strong pitch, combined with the allure of playing in the SEC, ultimately swayed Uiagalelei’s decision.
The 6’4″, 230-pound quarterback from California is regarded as one of the top prospects in the 2025 class, known for his rocket arm and ability to make plays both in the pocket and on the move. His commitment to LSU is expected to further elevate the Tigers’ recruiting class, adding yet another elite talent to an already loaded roster. This flip marks a major shift in the recruiting landscape and will certainly be a storyline to watch moving forward.
