Breaking: SEC Speedy and Shifty Five-Star Running Back Super Fast Ulysses Bentley Flips Commitment to Wake Forest – He Clocked a 4.29-Second 40-Yard Dash and Recorded a 99-Yard Touchdown…
For months, Ulysses Bentley had been the crown jewel of SEC recruiting, a five-star running back with electrifying speed and jaw-dropping agility. Every powerhouse program wanted him. Alabama, Georgia, and LSU all made their pitch, but Bentley had originally committed to Auburn. That changed overnight.
In a stunning move that sent shockwaves through the college football world, Bentley announced he was flipping his commitment—not to another SEC powerhouse, but to Wake Forest.
The decision came just hours after he put on a legendary performance in his state championship game. On the first play from scrimmage, Bentley took a simple handoff from his own 1-yard line, weaved through a sea of defenders, broke three tackles, and torched the secondary with his 4.29 speed, blazing 99 yards for a touchdown. It was the kind of play that had NFL scouts salivating and fans losing their minds.
Reporters caught up with Bentley after the game, expecting him to reaffirm his Auburn pledge. Instead, he stunned everyone.
“I prayed on it, talked with my family, and something about Wake just felt right,” Bentley said. “Coach Clawson believes in me. They’re building something special, and I want to be the guy who puts Wake Forest on the map.”
Wake Forest fans erupted in celebration, while Auburn and SEC faithful were left in disbelief. How did a program known more for its academics than its football steal a generational talent from the clutches of the SEC?
Bentley’s explanation was simple. “Speed travels,” he said with a smirk. “And I’m about to take mine
to the ACC.”
