In a jaw-dropping turn of events, 5-star quarterback phenom Jalen Richards has officially decommitted from the UConn Huskies and flipped his commitment to the Michigan Wolverines, stunning fans and shaking up the national recruiting landscape. Richards, widely considered one of the top dual-threat quarterbacks in the 2025 class, had originally pledged to UConn in what many viewed as a shocking underdog win for the Huskies. But after months of speculation and continued pursuit from blue-blood programs, the California native has opted to take his talents to Ann Arbor.

Michigan emerged victorious in a fierce recruiting battle that also included heavyweights like Penn State, Oregon, and LSU. Sources close to Richards say the Wolverines’ proven track record of quarterback development and national title aspirations played a major role in his decision.

“I’ve got nothing but love for UConn, but I had to follow my heart,” Richards said in a social media post. “Michigan gives me the best chance to compete at the highest level.”

 

The flip marks a major recruiting win for Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore, who now boasts one of the top incoming classes in the nation. UConn, meanwhile, is left scrambling to fill the massive void left by Richards’ departure.
