In a stunning turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the college football world, 5-star quarterback phenom Jalen McBride has officially decommitted from the UConn Huskies and flipped his commitment to the Michigan Wolverines. McBride, widely regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2025 recruiting class, had committed to UConn in a surprising move last year, citing the opportunity to build something special with a program on the rise.
However, after a dominant showing on the Elite 11 circuit and late pushes from national powerhouses, McBride reopened his recruitment just weeks ago. In a move that blindsided both Penn State and Tennessee—two programs that were considered frontrunners—McBride announced Monday that he will be heading to Ann Arbor.
Sources close to the recruitment say Michigan’s recent success developing NFL-caliber quarterbacks, coupled with new NIL opportunities and a strong relationship with head coach Sherrone Moore, played key roles in the decision. McBride’s flip is a massive recruiting win for Michigan and a significant blow to UConn, who had hoped to build their program around his elite talent. With this commitment, Michigan solidifies its 2025 class as one of the best in the nation.
