BREAKING NEWS: Five-Star QB David Shocks BYU with Decommitment, Flips to UCF Over Arizona State and WVU
In a major recruiting surprise, five-star quarterback David has officially decommitted from Brigham Young University (BYU) and committed to the University of Central Florida (UCF) Knights. The shock decision comes after months of speculation and has sent ripples through the college football world, with fans and analysts stunned by the flip.
David, a 6-foot-4, 210-pound dual-threat QB, had previously been one of BYU’s most highly anticipated commits, but recent developments led him to reconsider his options. Despite strong recruiting efforts from BYU, the standout QB ultimately chose to join the Knights, turning down offers from Arizona State University and West Virginia University (WVU), both of which had been considered top alternatives.
Sources close to the situation indicate that David was impressed by UCF’s high-powered offense and the opportunity to compete for playing time early in his career. Under head coach Gus Malzahn, UCF has become a rising force in college football, and David is seen as the perfect fit for the program’s future.
While Arizona State and WVU both put up strong recruiting pitches, UCF’s ability to sell a dynamic, up-tempo system coupled with the Knights’ rising national profile ultimately won out. The commitment marks a significant milestone for UCF, which continues to attract elite talent, further solidifying the program’s place as a contender in the American Athletic Conference.
For BYU, this decommitment is a blow as the Cougars prepare for their Big 12 debut. The loss of David leaves a hole in their quarterback future, but BYU will now look to regroup as they search for their next top QB recruit. As for UCF, this commitment is a massive win and could signal even bigger things ahead for the Knights.
