BREAKING: Four-Star CB Decommits From LSU and Flips to Oklahoma Sooners
It was a decision that shocked the college football world. Corey Daniels, a highly sought-after four-star cornerback from Houston, Texas, had been the cornerstone of LSU’s 2025 recruiting class. A month ago, he had pledged his loyalty to the Tigers, posing in the iconic purple and gold for his announcement photo. But today, he sent shockwaves through social media with one word:
“Boomer.”
Daniels, one of the top defensive backs in the nation, had flipped his commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners.
The announcement came just hours after Daniels completed an unpublicized visit to Norman, Oklahoma. Reports later revealed that his visit to the Sooners’ campus had been nothing short of a spectacle. Oklahoma’s coaching staff rolled out the red carpet, giving Daniels a personalized jersey, a locker room tour, and a private meeting with head coach Brent Venables.
“Their vision for me as a player and a leader really sold me,” Daniels explained in a post-commitment interview. “At Oklahoma, they want me to be more than just a cornerback—they want me to be a game-changer.”
The LSU fanbase was quick to express their disappointment. “How do you leave DBU?” one fan tweeted, referencing LSU’s reputation for developing elite defensive backs.
But Daniels was unapologetic. “This wasn’t an easy decision,” he said. “LSU is a great program, but Oklahoma feels like home. I want to win a national championship, and I believe Coach Venables is building something special.”
Insiders speculated that Oklahoma’s recent success in landing top defensive recruits and their transition to the SEC played a significant role in Daniels’ decision. The Sooners are gearing up for their first season in the powerhouse conference, and Daniels clearly saw an opportunity to be part of history.
As Daniels stepped onto the practice field for a photo shoot in his crimson and cream jersey, the magnitude of his decision began to sink in. The move wasn’t just about football; it was about his future.
“Get ready, Sooner Nation,” Daniels tweeted, “because we’re about to make some noise.”
For Oklahoma fans, it was the best kind of breaking news. For LSU? A heartbreaking loss.
