Traditionally, the most dramatic moments in college football recruiting come when a blue-chip player flips his commitment from one school to another — sometimes early in the process and sometimes on signing day.
FOX Sports ranked Cincinnati Bengals NFL All-Pro wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase flipping his commitment from Kansas in 2017 as one of the most impactful recruiting flips of the last decade.
Chase, a four-star recruit out of Archbishop Rummel High School in Metaire, Louisiana, flipped from Kansas to Florida, then from Florida to LSU.
At LSU, Chase had one of the greatest individual seasons for a wide receiver in college football history in 2019 with 84 receptions for 1,780 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns as the Tigers went unbeaten and won the College Football Playoff national championship.
Chase has over 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first three NFL seasons and is a three-time Pro Bowler and was named NFL All-Pro in 2021.
