Breaking: No. 1 Highly-Touted WR Chase Robert Decommits from BYU, Flips Commitment to Ohio State Over Top Programs Like Auburn, Alabama, and Georgia Bulldogs
In a stunning development that has sent shockwaves through the college football recruiting world, Chase Robert, the nation’s No. 1 wide receiver prospect, has decommitted from BYU and flipped his commitment to Ohio State. The highly sought-after recruit had been a key commitment for BYU for several months, but after a whirlwind recruiting process, Robert ultimately chose the Buckeyes over a list of powerhouse programs, including Auburn, Alabama, and the Georgia Bulldogs.
The decision to join Ohio State comes after Robert visited the campus and engaged in several high-level conversations with the coaching staff, who have long been regarded as elite in developing wide receivers. Robert’s commitment to Ohio State marks a major win for head coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes’ recruiting efforts, bolstering their already impressive 2025 class.
“I’ve been following Ohio State for a long time, and after visiting and meeting with the coaches, I knew it was the right fit for me,” Robert said in a statement. “Their program speaks for itself, and I’m excited to join a team that consistently competes for championships. I’m ready to work hard and help this team win.”
Robert’s decision to decommit from BYU came after intense recruitment by several top-tier schools, but ultimately, the allure of playing at Ohio State’s high-powered offense, under the guidance of Day, proved too great to resist. Known for his explosive speed, sharp route-running, and ability to make spectacular catches, Robert is expected to make an immediate impact in the Big Ten and on the national stage.
Ohio State fans are ecstatic about landing Robert, who is seen as a game-changing talent and a future star at the wide receiver position. With this commitment, the Buckeyes’ recruiting class continues to rise, and Robert’s addition makes them even more formidable heading into the future.
