Tennessee Vols 5-Star QB Ryan Damron Shocks Fans with Decommitment, Flips to Arkansas Razorbacks
In an unexpected twist, 5-star quarterback recruit Ryan Damron has decommitted from the University of Tennessee and flipped his commitment to the University of Arkansas, sending shockwaves through both the college football and recruiting worlds. Damron, one of the most highly touted quarterbacks in the 2025 class, was expected to be the future face of Tennessee’s offense, but his sudden change of heart has stunned Vols fans and analysts alike.
Damron, known for his exceptional arm strength, accuracy, and ability to make plays both in the pocket and on the move, had long been considered one of the top quarterback prospects of his generation. His commitment to Tennessee had been a major win for the program, signaling their continued rise under head coach Josh Heupel. However, after much speculation and private discussions, Damron made the surprising announcement on social media, leaving Vols fans in disbelief.
“After careful consideration and discussions with my family and coaches, I have decided to decommit from the University of Tennessee and commit to the University of Arkansas,” Damron wrote in an emotional post. “This was not an easy decision, but I believe Arkansas is the best place for me to develop and grow as a player. I’m excited to be part of the Razorbacks’ future and compete at the highest level.”
For Arkansas, landing Damron is a monumental victory, as they continue to build momentum under head coach Sam Pittman. Known for his strong recruiting efforts and ability to develop talent, Pittman now has one of the nation’s top quarterbacks in his corner. Damron’s commitment gives Arkansas a potential future star, and fans are eager to see how he fits into the Razorbacks’ offensive system.
Damron’s flip has left Tennessee reeling, raising questions about their future at quarterback and the shifting dynamics of college football recruiting.
