SEC Number 1 WR Flips Commitment to Texas Longhorns After Rejecting Alabama and Bulldogs

Five-star wide receiver Malik Grayson had the entire college football world on edge. As the No. 1 wide receiver prospect in the SEC, he was expected to stay in the conference, with Alabama and Georgia locked in a heated battle for his signature. Both schools had rolled out the red carpet—Nick Saban himself made a personal visit, while Kirby Smart promised a feature role in Georgia’s offense.

But Malik had other plans.

Just days before National Signing Day, rumors swirled that a surprise team was in play. Then, in a shocking announcement on social media, Malik revealed his decision:

“Hook ‘em! Austin, I’m coming home. Texas, let’s do this!”

The commitment sent shockwaves across the country. Texas, fresh off a strong season under Steve Sarkisian, had pulled off a massive recruiting coup, luring Malik away from the SEC giants. Analysts speculated that Sarkisian’s history of developing wide receivers in the NFL, combined with Texas’ high-powered offense, played a major role in Malik’s decision.

Alabama and Georgia fans erupted in frustration. The Crimson Tide had been banking on him to be their next great playmaker, while Georgia saw him as the missing piece to their passing attack. But Malik had always wanted to carve his own path, and Texas offered him the chance to be the face of a rising program.

With his commitment sealed, Longhorn fans celebrated their biggest recruiting win in years. The SEC had lost its top receiver—Texas had just got

ten stronger.
