In a stunning turn of events, 5-star running back Derrick McCalister has de-committed from the Oklahoma Sooners and flipped his commitment to the Tennessee Volunteers. McCalister, a highly sought-after recruit, had long been considered a cornerstone of Oklahoma’s future running back corps. However, after months of speculation and deliberation, McCalister cited the Tennessee Vols’ explosive offensive system and the opportunity to make an immediate impact as key factors in his decision.
“I want to thank the Oklahoma Sooners for their belief in me and their support,” McCalister said in a statement. “But after careful consideration, I believe that Tennessee offers me the best platform to grow as a player and contribute to a winning program.”
The commitment flip has shaken the college football world, as McCalister had been a highly prized recruit for Oklahoma’s head coach Brent Venables, who had been banking on McCalister to provide a dynamic presence in their backfield. Tennessee, under head coach Josh Heupel, has been building momentum with a high-powered offense, making it a highly attractive destination for top-tier talent.
Georgia was also in the mix, but McCalister ultimately chose the Vols for the opportunity to be part of their rising offensive unit. This commitment marks a major victory for Tennessee, further solidifying their status as a program on the rise in college football.
