BREAKING: Dual-threat QB Garrett Greene Shocks West Virginia with Decommitment, Chooses Texas Over Georgia, Penn State, and Others
In a stunning turn of events, four-star dual-threat quarterback Garrett Greene has decommitted from West Virginia, sending shockwaves through the college football recruiting world. After months of commitment to the Mountaineers, Greene has instead chosen to play for the University of Texas, overriding the efforts of other prominent programs, including Georgia, Penn State, and several others that were in hot pursuit of the dynamic playmaker.
Greene, who had been a cornerstone of West Virginia’s recruiting class, is regarded as one of the top quarterback prospects in the nation. Known for his ability to make plays both in the air and on the ground, Greene’s decision to flip his commitment to Texas is seen as a major win for the Longhorns, who continue to build a powerhouse program under head coach Steve Sarkisian. The Longhorns were not considered the frontrunner for Greene’s commitment, with many speculating that Georgia or Penn State had the upper hand.
His recruitment has been a rollercoaster, with Greene taking official visits to various schools over the past several months. While West Virginia had long been the favorite, the allure of Texas’ high-powered offense and the chance to play in the competitive Big 12 ultimately led Greene to reconsider his future. The Longhorns’ ability to showcase their national championship potential and their proven track record in developing quarterbacks likely played a crucial role in his decision.
For West Virginia, this is a major setback in their recruiting efforts, especially with the Mountaineers now scrambling to find a replacement for their top quarterback prospect. Meanwhile, Texas gains a crucial piece to their future as they look to build upon their already impressive recruiting class.
