JUST IN: Breaking — 5-Star Tight End Oscar Delp (6’5”, 245 lbs) Decommits from Georgia Bulldogs, Commits to Alabama Crimson Tide Over Clemson, Texas A&M, and LSU
Tuscaloosa, AL — In a shocking recruiting development that has sent shockwaves through the college football world, elite 5-star tight end Oscar Delp (6’5”, 245 lbs) has officially decommitted from the Georgia Bulldogs and committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide, choosing Nick Saban’s powerhouse program over Clemson, Texas A&M, and LSU.
Delp, widely considered the top tight end in the 2025 class, had long been a cornerstone of Georgia’s recruiting class. But after a recent visit to Tuscaloosa and a late push from the Crimson Tide, the dynamic pass-catcher flipped his commitment in a decision that could reshape the SEC landscape.
> “Alabama is different,” Delp said during his announcement on Wednesday. “Coach Saban laid out a plan for me — not just to win championships, but to develop into the best version of myself. I want to be part of that legacy. This is about greatness.”
The Saban Effect Strikes Again
Even with Coach Nick Saban now sharing duties with offensive coordinator Tommy Rees and a new-look offensive staff, the Tide continues to dominate on the recruiting trail. Delp’s commitment proves Alabama isn’t slowing down — it’s reloading.
Rees reportedly pitched Delp on being the centerpiece of a tight end-heavy offensive scheme that would utilize his full skill set — from in-line blocking to stretching the field and dominating in the red zone. NFL comparisons and Alabama’s unmatched development track record sealed the deal.
> “Oscar is the kind of player we build around,” Coach Saban said in a statement. “He’s a competitor, a leader, and exactly what we look for — on and off the field. Welcome to the family.”
What Delp Brings to the Tide
Delp is more than just a recruit — he’s a game-changer. With his 6’5” frame, elite hands, and fluid athleticism, he’s built like an NFL prototype. He’s dangerous after the catch, powerful in run blocking, and has the route precision of a wide receiver.
His arrival fills a key need for Alabama and positions the Tide to continue evolving their offensive identity as they aim to stay atop the SEC and national college football hierarchy.
Reactions and Ripple Effects
Alabama fans immediately flooded social media with “Roll Tide!” and “Welcome to the family, Oscar!” posts. Delp’s commitment is expected to vault Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class into the Top 3 nationally and could set off a domino effect for other elite offensive prospects.
Meanwhile, Georgia fans were stunned, and the tight end rooms at Clemson, A&M, and LSU suddenly have a gaping hole in their future plans.
Final Thoughts
This flip is a reminder that in the SEC — and especially in Tuscaloosa — recruiting never sleeps. Oscar Delp’s decision to leave Athens behind and commit to the Crimson Tide isn’t just a recruiting win — it’s a warning shot to the rest of the college football world: Alabama is still the standard.
Welcome to the family, Oscar Delp. Roll Tide! 🐘🏈🔥
