Five-Star WR Back-Off Texas A&M, Flips Commitment to Alabama Football Over LSU, Ohio State, Georgia
In a stunning twist, five-star wide receiver Jalen Robinson has flipped his commitment from Texas A&M to Alabama, marking a significant win for the Crimson Tide in their recruitment battle. Robinson, a highly sought-after talent from the 2025 class, had been committed to the Aggies since last year, but after a series of visits and discussions with Alabama’s coaching staff, he announced his change of heart on social media today.
The 6’2”, 190-pound receiver, known for his explosive speed and remarkable route running, had been one of the most coveted prospects in the nation. His decision to decommit from Texas A&M and pledge to Alabama comes after he took official visits to Tuscaloosa, LSU, Ohio State, and Georgia in recent months. Though LSU and Ohio State were considered strong contenders for his commitment, it was Alabama’s storied program, offensive system, and the chance to work with head coach Nick Saban that ultimately swayed Robinson.
In his announcement, Robinson expressed his admiration for Texas A&M but noted that Alabama’s consistent success in developing wide receivers, combined with their recent championship pedigree, made them the best fit for his collegiate career. Alabama’s reputation for producing NFL-ready talent, particularly at the wide receiver position, played a pivotal role in his decision.
This commitment further bolsters Alabama’s already impressive recruiting class, which continues to be among the top in the nation. For Texas A&M, Robinson’s flip represents a significant loss, especially given their focus on improving their wide receiver corps for the future. Alabama fans are now eagerly anticipating Robinson’s arrival, hoping he can make an immediate impact on their offense.
