Five-Star QB Jovan Clark Stuns Oregon State with Decommitment, Commits to Washington State
In a stunning turn of events for college football recruiting, five-star quarterback Jovan Clark has officially decommitted from Oregon State University and committed to Washington State University. Clark, one of the top-rated high school quarterbacks in the nation, had been verbally committed to the Beavers for nearly six months, generating major excitement for Oregon State fans. His last-minute flip to the Cougars, however, sent shockwaves through the Pac-12 and has reshaped the recruiting landscape.
Clark’s commitment to WSU marks a significant win for the Cougars’ recruiting efforts and head coach Jake Dickert, who is steadily building a promising program in Pullman. Known for his incredible arm strength, accuracy, and mobility, Clark is expected to make an immediate impact, potentially becoming the centerpiece of Washington State’s offense. His playing style fits well with the Cougars’ offensive scheme, which has thrived under a dynamic passing attack.
Sources close to the situation indicate that Clark’s decision stemmed from a desire for early playing opportunities and confidence in WSU’s vision for his development. The Cougars’ recent success in developing quarterbacks was reportedly a key factor in Clark’s decision, as he envisions himself thriving in Pullman’s system.
For Oregon State, Clark’s decommitment is a bitter setback, especially as the program had been counting on his skills to elevate their offense in coming seasons. While Oregon State still boasts a strong recruiting class, Clark’s departure leaves a significant void.
With National Signing Day approaching, Jovan Clark’s decision will be closely watched as he takes his next steps with the Washington State Cougars.
