With less than two months left until the early signing period, the 2025 recruiting cycle is entering its final stretch—meaning flip season is officially underway.
Many of the top high school football players across the country have announced their commitments, but nothing becomes official until they sign. Keeping that in mind, there have already been some significant decommitments in recent weeks, as players are reopening their recruitments before making a final choice.
In the weeks leading up to the early signing period, we can expect many more decommitments, and we’ll be tracking them here.
Here’s a look at the recent notable decommitments
Oct. 27: CJ Wiley, 4-star WR
Decommitted from: Florida State
Recruiting Background: CJ Wiley, a 6-foot-4, 195-pound wide receiver from Alpharetta (Ga.) Milton, decommitted from Florida State just over four months after initially choosing the Seminoles over his other top contenders, Georgia and LSU. The Peach State standout is the latest in a series of decommitments for Mike Norvell’s program following a rough start to the season, leaving Florida State without any wide receivers in their 2025 recruiting class. A member of 247Sports’ 2025 Freaks List, Wiley recorded 39 receptions for 677 yards and eight touchdowns in the first nine games of his senior season, according to MaxPreps.
Abbreviated Scouting Report: “A big-framed outside receiver with exceptional physical attributes, multi-sport experience, and a solid football background. … Demonstrates a more developed route tree compared to many receivers at this level. Exhibits consistent ball-tracking skills on deep passes and is willing to work the middle of the field. Displays impressive ability to gain yards after the catch.” — 247Sports scouting analyst Gabe Brooks.
Player comparison: Noah Thomas, Texas A&M WR
Oct. 23: Adrian Wilson, 4-star WR
Decommitted from: Arizona State (flipped to Colorado)
Recruiting Background: Adrian Wilson, a 6-foot, 170-pound wide receiver from Pflugerville (Texas) Weiss, decommitted from Arizona State a little over six months after initially committing to the program. The talented Lone Star State athlete has since pledged to Colorado following an official visit hosted by coach Deion Sanders and his staff in Boulder. Before his commitment to Colorado, Wilson had also been committed to Oregon and TCU during his recruitment journey. In his first eight games as a senior, Wilson showcased his explosive playmaking ability, averaging an impressive 23.1 yards per catch with 26 receptions for 601 yards and eight touchdowns, according to MaxPreps.
With his combination of speed and agility, Wilson could easily become a game-changer for the Buffaloes, adding an exciting dynamic to their offense. His ability to stretch the field makes him a valuable asset, especially in a high-tempo scheme that values big plays.
Decommitted from: North Carolina (flipped to Alabama)
Recruiting Background: Marshall Pritchett, a 6-foot-5, 211-pound tight end from Rabun Gap (Ga.) Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School, flipped his commitment from North Carolina to Alabama less than two weeks after receiving a scholarship offer from Kalen DeBoer’s program. Pritchett initially committed to the Tar Heels on March 23, choosing them over a group of finalists that included Georgia Tech, Miami, Michigan, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. During the first eight games of his senior season, Pritchett recorded 35 catches for 397 yards and five touchdowns, according to MaxPreps.
With his impressive size and receiving skills, Pritchett has the potential to make an immediate impact for Alabama, adding depth and versatility to their tight end position. His ability to create mismatches in the passing game will be a valuable asset as he transitions to the next level.
Abbreviated Scouting Report: “An athletic tight end prospect with strong ball skills, excelling as a two-level pass catcher. He began his prep career as a quarterback before transitioning to tight end and moving outside. … Demonstrates a high football IQ, effectively exploiting zone coverage, and has shown competitiveness in catch-and-run scenarios.”
Oct. 21: Joseph Mbatchou, 4-star DL
Decommitted from: Florida
Recruiting Background: Joseph Mbatchou, a 6-foot-4½, 275-pound defensive lineman from Loganville (Ga.) Grayson, decommitted from Florida after experiencing a surge in his recruitment since his commitment to Billy Napier’s program in July. The Peach State prospect announced that he is still considering the Gators, along with Alabama, Auburn, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas, and USC, as he prepares to make a final decision in December following official visits to these schools. Through six games in his senior season, Mbatchou recorded 12 tackles, seven tackles for loss, one sack, and seven quarterback hurries, according to MaxPreps.
With his combination of size and athleticism, Mbatchou has the potential to be a disruptive force on the defensive line at the next level, making him an attractive prospect for numerous programs.
Oct. 17: Aaron Dunn, 4-star OT
Decommitted from: Utah (flipped to USC)
Recruiting Background: Aaron Dunn, a 6-foot-7½, 290-pound offensive tackle from Spanish Fork (Utah) High, decommitted from Utah and committed to USC just one day later, marking head coach Lincoln Riley and his staff’s first blue-chip offensive line commitment of the 2024 cycle. This decision comes a little over two months after the top-150 prospect initially chose Kyle Whittingham’s program, having also considered finalists such as BYU, Oregon, UCLA, and USC.
Dunn’s combination of size and skill makes him a significant addition to USC’s offensive line, where he has the potential to develop into a key contributor in the coming years.
Abbreviated Scouting Report: “A tall, athletic offensive tackle prospect with elite height and a lean build that accommodates his current mass well. … Though narrower through the torso, his long arms provide significant pass protection upside. He demonstrates good knee-bending ability and typically maintains balance. In pass protection, he plays with a flat back. While he isn’t overly graceful on the outside, he creates a wide arc and showcases redirecting mobility to counter opponents’ moves.” — Brooks.
Oct. 14: Cameron Herron, 4-star IOL
Decommitted from: Iowa (flipped to Notre Dame)
Recruiting Background: Cameron Herron, a 6-foot-3, 275-pound offensive lineman from Indianapolis Warren Central, decommitted from Iowa and committed to Notre Dame shortly after receiving a scholarship offer from Marcus Freeman’s program, following an official visit to South Bend. He had initially pledged to head coach Kirk Ferentz and the Hawkeyes, choosing Iowa over a group of finalists that included Boston College, Cincinnati, Louisville, Northwestern, and West Virginia.
Herron’s versatility and strength make him a valuable addition to Notre Dame’s offensive line, where he has the potential to contribute significantly in the coming seasons.
Abbreviated Scouting Report: “An impressive-looking interior lineman who could play guard or center. Possesses some of the quickest feet among offensive linemen in the class, moving exceptionally well laterally and easily reaching the second level to engage linebackers or safeties. Always maintains balance, is a fluid mover, and displays strength at the point of attack. He has a powerful upper body and is a road grader in the run game.”
Oct. 10: Jacob Bradford, 4-star safety
Decommitted from: Houston (flipped to LSU)
Recruiting Background: Jacob Bradford, a 5-foot-11½, 190-pound safety from Baton Rouge (La.) Catholic, decommitted from Houston and committed to LSU just two days later. This flip occurred after coach Brian Kelly and his staff hosted the local standout on an official visit. Bradford had originally committed to the Cougars on June 23, prior to the Tigers extending an offer at the end of July. He also made an unofficial visit to Alabama in September before reopening his recruitment.
Bradford’s combination of athleticism and local ties makes him a significant addition to LSU’s defensive backfield, where he has the potential to make an impact in the coming years.
Abbreviated Scouting Report: “A stout defensive back with an impressive mix of instincts, speed, quickness, and physicality. Consistently finds ways to impact games and possesses the ideal competitive temperament. Primarily utilized as an outside corner, he projects more as a slot corner or box safety at the next level, capable of defending both the pass and the run.” — Ivins.
Oct. 10: Daylan McCutcheon, 4-star WR
Decommitted from: Florida State (flipped to Texas)
Recruiting Background: Daylan McCutcheon, a 5-foot-11, 175-pound wide receiver from Lucas (Texas) Lovejoy, decommitted from Florida State and committed to Texas nearly three months after initially choosing the Seminoles. He had previously selected Florida State over a group of finalists that included the Longhorns, Ohio State, SMU, and USC. McCutcheon became the second Florida State pledge to flip to Texas this season, following four-star defensive lineman Myron Charles. In his first eight games as a senior, McCutcheon recorded impressive stats, catching 61 passes for 797 yards and 13 touchdowns, according to MaxPreps.
His ability to make plays and contribute significantly to the Texas offense makes him a valuable addition to the Longhorns’ receiving corps.
Abbreviated Scouting Report: “A quick-footed receiver with impressive production against Texas 5A competition in the DFW Metroplex. Exhibits speed-changing nuance that enhances his run-after-catch ability and route-running skills. Plays bigger than his verified size and demonstrates strong hands, capable of making highlight-reel catches due to his dexterity, body control, and determination. Overall, he is a polished route runner.” — Brooks.
Oct. 8: Joshua Moore, 4-star WR
Decommitted from: Florida (flipped to Miami)
Recruiting Background: Joshua Moore, a 6-foot-4, 205-pound wide receiver from Pembroke Pines (Fla.) West Broward, decommitted from Florida and committed to Miami, securing a significant recruiting victory for Mario Cristobal’s program over their in-state rivals. Initially, he committed to the Gators on June 26, choosing them over Miami and Florida State. However, the Hurricanes remained persistent in their recruitment, successfully bringing the local standout on campus for multiple visits since the beginning of the season. Through the first eight games of his senior year, Moore recorded 40 receptions for 769 yards and eight touchdowns, along with four tackles and one interception on defense, according to MaxPreps.
Moore’s size and skill set make him a valuable addition to Miami’s receiving corps, where he has the potential to make an immediate impact.
Abbreviated Scouting Report: “An eye-catching outside wide receiver prospect with ideal size, capable of being a reliable target on back-shoulder throws. … Attacks leverage with a smooth, galloping stride and sinks his hips before changing direction. He aggressively moves toward the football, using strong hands to secure catches while effectively boxing out defenders.” — Ivins.
