Breaking: SEC Speedy and Shifty Five-Star Running Back Super Fast Ulysses Bentley Flips Commitment to Oklahoma Sooners
For months, the college football world had been waiting to see where Ulysses Bentley IV—better known as “Super Fast Ulysses”—would land. A five-star running back with elite speed, Bentley had been committed to an SEC powerhouse, but the whispers of a possible flip had been growing louder.
On a crisp February morning, the news finally broke: Bentley was heading to Norman, flipping his commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners in a stunning last-minute decision.
“I’m all about finding the best fit for me,” Bentley said in his announcement video, standing beside a crimson and cream backdrop. “Coach [Brent] Venables and the staff showed me how I can thrive in their offense. I want to be the next great Sooners running back.”
The flip sent shockwaves across the college football landscape. Bentley had been considered a lock for his previous SEC school, with fans already dreaming of him torching defenses in their colors. Instead, he’d chosen Oklahoma, where he’d follow in the footsteps of legends like Adrian Peterson, Joe Mixon, and DeMarco Murray.
Reports quickly surfaced that Oklahoma running backs coach DeMarco Murray had played a key role in Bentley’s decision. Murray, himself a former Sooners great, had been in constant communication with Bentley, selling him on the vision of becoming the next superstar in Norman.
Recruiting analysts marveled at the move. “Bentley is an instant game-changer,” one expert said. “He’s got that home-run ability—he can take it 80 yards in the blink of an eye.”
Meanwhile, fans of the SEC program he left behind were left in disbelief. Some questioned whether an NIL deal played a role. Others pointed to Oklahoma’s recent offensive success. Either way, the Sooners had landed a massive recruit, one who could reshape their backfield for years to come.
Now, the countdown was on. Could Super Fast Ulysses live up to his name in Norman? Only time would tell—but one thing was certain: the Sooners had just added an electrifying weapon to
their arsenal.
