Best 5-Star QB Kyle Trask Shocks College Football World With Commitment to Clemson Tigers Over LSU, Ohio State, and Miami
In a stunning turn of events, five-star quarterback Kyle Trask has committed to the Clemson Tigers, choosing them over powerhouse programs like LSU, Ohio State, and Miami. Trask, the No. 1-ranked quarterback in the 2025 recruiting class, made his announcement via social media, sending shockwaves through the college football world.
For months, recruiting analysts believed LSU or Ohio State were the frontrunners for Trask’s commitment. Miami also made a late push, hoping to land the elite signal-caller. However, Clemson, known for its recent success in developing top-tier quarterbacks like Trevor Lawrence and Deshaun Watson, made a strong impression during Trask’s visit last month.
“I’ve prayed on this decision, talked it over with my family, and at the end of the day, Clemson felt like home,” Trask said in his commitment video. “The culture, the coaching staff, and the opportunity to compete at the highest level made it an easy choice.”
Trask, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound standout from Texas, possesses elite arm talent, mobility, and football IQ. He threw for over 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns last season, cementing himself as one of the most sought-after recruits in the nation.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator Garrett Riley played a crucial role in landing Trask, selling him on the program’s family atmosphere and NFL development pipeline. With Clemson’s recent quarterback struggles, Trask’s commitment could be a game-changer for the Tigers as they look to return to national championship contention.
Meanwhile, LSU, Ohio State, and Miami will have to pivot their recruiting efforts to other top quarterback prospects. Trask’s decision leaves a significant void in their plans, as all three schools were banking on his commitment.
With the college football landscape constantly evolving, Trask’s shocking choice proves once again that recruiting battles are never over until the ink dries on National Signing Day.
