JUST IN – BREAKING: 5-Star Tight End Oscar Delp Flips Commitment from Georgia to Florida Gators in Stunning Recruiting Twist (ESPN Report)
In a bombshell move that has rocked the college football recruiting world, 5-star tight end Oscar Delp has officially decommitted from the Georgia Bulldogs and committed to the Florida Gators, spurning major contenders Florida State and LSU in the process. The announcement, made via ESPN and Delp’s personal social media accounts, marks one of the biggest recruiting flips of the 2025 cycle and is being hailed as a game-changing win for head coach Billy Napier and the Gator faithful.
Delp, a towering presence at 6’5” and 245 pounds, is widely regarded as the top tight end prospect in the country. With elite hands, smooth route-running, and the physicality to block like an offensive lineman, Delp has drawn comparisons to NFL stars like Travis Kelce and George Kittle. His decision to leave Georgia and instead commit to a rising Florida program is already sending ripple effects through the SEC and beyond.
> “After a lot of prayer, conversations with my family, and visiting some incredible schools, I’ve made my decision. I’m flipping to the University of Florida. The Gators feel like home, and I’m ready to go win championships in The Swamp,” Delp said in a statement.
A Major Loss for Georgia, a Massive Gain for Florida
Delp had been committed to Georgia since his junior year and was considered a cornerstone of the Bulldogs’ future offensive plans. His departure comes as a shock, especially with Georgia’s recent history of elite tight end play under coach Kirby Smart. However, insiders suggest that Delp was swayed by Florida’s fast-rising program, the chance to be the centerpiece of a new-look offense, and his relationship with Napier and new offensive coordinator Joe Brady.
“Coach Napier’s vision for how I’d be used, and the energy around the Florida program—it felt different,” Delp said. “It felt right.”
For Florida, this commitment is a thunderous statement. The Gators are not just back in the national recruiting conversation—they’re winning high-profile battles against SEC blue bloods and reclaiming their status as a destination for elite talent.
What Delp Brings to Gainesville
Delp is expected to make an immediate impact. His rare combination of size, speed, and football IQ makes him a mismatch nightmare for defenses. Whether lined up as an in-line tight end, split wide, or in motion, he adds a new layer of dynamism to Florida’s offense.
“He’s the kind of player that makes everyone around him better,” said ESPN’s Tom Luginbill. “Florida just landed a future All-American and potential first-round NFL pick. This is a big-time win.”
Gator Nation Reacts
The Florida fanbase erupted with excitement following Delp’s announcement. Social media was flooded with celebratory posts, with hashtags like #DelpToTheSwamp, #FlipSeason, and #GatorTearsOfJoy trending across platforms.
With Oscar Delp officially on board, Florida not only weakens a major rival but also adds one of the country’s most dangerous offensive weapons to its roster. As recruiting battles heat up in the 2025 cycle, this one might be remembered as the moment the tide turned in the Gators’ favor.
Welcome to the Gator family, Oscar Delp—The Swamp
just got a whole lot scarier.
