Breaking: SEC Speedy and Shifty Five-Star Running Back Super Fast Ulysses Bentley Flips Commitment to Minnesota Gophers – He Clocked a 4.29-Second 40-Yard Dash and Recorded a 99-Yard Touchdown…
The college football world was shaken to its core as five-star running back Ulysses Bentley, known for his electrifying speed and ankle-breaking cuts, shocked analysts and fans alike by flipping his commitment from an SEC powerhouse to the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
The announcement came moments after Bentley posted a highlight reel on social media showcasing his latest feat: a blistering 4.29-second 40-yard dash at a private workout and a jaw-dropping 99-yard touchdown run during an all-star scrimmage. The play went viral instantly—Bentley took a simple handoff, found a crease, and hit the gas. Defensive backs who had angles on him? Left grasping at air. The crowd? Left speechless.
“Speed travels, and so do I,” Bentley said with a grin in his commitment video, donning a Gophers hoodie. “I’m bringing SEC speed to the Big Ten.”
Bentley’s decision stunned recruiters, especially considering he had offers from Alabama, Georgia, and LSU. But sources close to him revealed that Minnesota’s pitch—being the face of a rising program, NIL incentives, and the promise of immediate playing time—sealed the deal.
Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck was ecstatic. “We just landed a game-changer,” he told reporters. “Ulysses isn’t just fast—he’s super fast. This is a program-altering moment.”
SEC fans were quick to react on social media, many questioning why Bentley would leave the South. But the running back had a simple response:
“Y’all gonna see me in the College Football Playoff. Just in maroon and gold.”
The Big Ten just got a wh
ole lot faster.
