In a stunning recruiting twist, five-star quarterback **Jalen Mitchell** (6’4”, 236 lbs) has officially decommitted from the **Ohio State Buckeyes** and committed to the **Tennessee Volunteers**, sending shockwaves across the college football landscape.

Mitchell, ranked among the top quarterback prospects in the nation, chose Tennessee over **Kentucky** and **Florida State**, both of whom made aggressive last-minute pushes to secure the dynamic signal-caller.

This decision marks a huge win for Tennessee’s coaching staff, who stayed persistent in their recruitment despite Mitchell’s previous pledge to the Buckeyes. Sources close to the process say that the culture in Knoxville, combined with Tennessee’s high-octane offensive system and strong NIL support, played a major role in his flip.

Mitchell brings a rare blend of size, arm strength, and mobility — often drawing comparisons to NFL-caliber talents. He’s expected to compete for the starting role early in his college career and could be the cornerstone of the Volunteers’ next championship push.

“I prayed about it, talked to my family, and followed my heart,” Mitchell said in a brief statement. “Tennessee felt like home.”

Vol Nation is buzzing with excitement, and rightfully so. The future just got a whole lot brighter in Knoxville.
