The Texas Longhorns have lost out on a recruit eight days after he announced his commitment to Steve Sarkisian and staff.
four-star 2025 defensive line commit Joseph Mbatchou, who committed to Texas eight days ago on Nov. 23 after decommitting from Florida, has now backpedaled and re-committed to the Gators.
Mbatchou had decommitted from Florida on Oct. 21 after originally committing to the Gators on July 31. He told On3 recruiting insider Chad Simmons that the Longhorns had his "best interest in mind" but it's clear things have changed.. “I believe fully in coach Sark , coach Kenny Baker and all those people. I believe they have my best interest in mind.”
A Grayson High School product , Mbatchou also received offers from programs like South Carolina, Auburn, USC, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Tennessee and many more. He made an unofficial visit to Texas on Sept. 14 and official visits set with Auburn and Florida . It's not often you see a commit flip back to the program he originally chose, especially after already committing to a different team. It makes you wonder what the point of committing is in the first place. In this case, it's clear something changed behind the scenes that caused Mbatchou to decommit from Texas so quickly.
