Breaking News: BYU 5-Star WR Jaden Mitchell Shocks College Football, Flips Commitment to Texas Longhorns Over Cougars
In a major recruiting shocker, **Jaden Mitchell**, a five-star wide receiver from **California**, has flipped his commitment from **BYU** to the **Texas Longhorns**, stunning the college football world. Mitchell, widely regarded as one of the top receivers in the **2025 class**, had been committed to BYU for months but announced on **social media** that he will now be heading to Austin.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pound playmaker had been a centerpiece of BYU’s future plans, with the Cougars’ staff believing he would be a game-changer in their offense. However, after a recent official visit to Texas, Mitchell made the decision to decommit from BYU and join the Longhorns instead.
“I want to thank BYU and Coach **Kalani Sitake** for believing in me,” Mitchell said in his statement. “This was a really tough decision, but after talking with my family and my coaches, I feel that Texas is the best place for me to develop and chase my dreams.”
Mitchell cited Texas’ **strong NIL opportunities, elite coaching staff, and move to the SEC** as key reasons for his flip.

For BYU, losing Mitchell is a significant setback, as he was projected to be a focal point of their offense for years to come. The Cougars will now have to shift their focus to other recruiting targets as they prepare for the upcoming season. Meanwhile, Texas fans are celebrating yet another massive recruiting win as the Longhorns continue to stack elite talent for the future.
