BREAKING: 5⭐️ 7’4” Left Tackle Tysqeuvious Lepancake Flips from Georgia to Alabama
In a stunning recruiting twist that’s sending shockwaves through the college football world, 5-star offensive tackle Tysqeuvious Lepancake has flipped his commitment from the University of Georgia to the University of Alabama. Standing at an astounding 7-foot-4 and weighing in at 350 pounds, Lepancake is not just a physical marvel — he’s officially set to become the tallest college football player of all time. And if his size weren’t enough to grab headlines, his reported 4.5-second 40-yard dash earlier this year confirms he’s a once-in-a-generation athletic specimen.
Lepancake’s decision is a major win for Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide coaching staff, who have now added a literal and figurative giant to their 2025 recruiting class. With Nick Saban’s retirement still fresh in fans’ minds, DeBoer is making a clear statement: Alabama isn’t going anywhere. Flipping a top prospect from a perennial powerhouse like Georgia reinforces Alabama’s position as a national recruiting force.
On the field, Lepancake projects as a day-one starter at left tackle — an almost unheard-of feat for a true freshman, especially at a blue-blood program. His unique combination of size, reach, and mobility gives him a ceiling that scouts are already calling “generational.” Imagine a blocker with the wingspan of an NBA center and the foot speed of a tight end. Defensive ends in the SEC will have to rethink their pass-rush strategy entirely. He swats down edge rushers like flies and can pull across the line with alarming speed for someone his size.
His high school tape — from Pancake Valley Prep in Mississippi — has become appointment viewing among recruiting analysts. Coaches marvel at his ability to absorb bull rushes without giving ground and to reach second-level defenders with effortless glide. And yes, the viral clip of him carrying a defensive tackle ten yards downfield and gently placing him on the bench still makes the rounds every few months.
Off the field, Lepancake has already built a massive following. His name alone — Tysqeuvious Lepancake — seems tailor-made for NIL deals. With offers reportedly rolling in from national breakfast chains, footwear brands, and even a video game developer interested in making him the face of a lineman-focused mode, his marketability is sky-high.
Georgia, for its part, will certainly feel the sting of this decommitment. Kirby Smart had built the Bulldogs’ 2025 class around Lepancake anchoring the offensive line. His loss leaves a major hole both on the field and in the program’s momentum.
For Alabama, though, this is more than just a flip — it’s a statement. The Tide’s dynasty may have shifted into a new era, but they’re not done dominating. With Tysqeuvious Lepancake paving the way, quite literally, the future looks enormous — and bright — in Tuscaloosa.
