Here We Go: SEC Records Another Crazy Breaking Deal in a Promising, Most Decorated RB — Commitment to Arizona Sun Imminent Announcement…
—
TUCSON, ARIZONA – The football world is once again spinning on its axis after the Southeastern Conference (SEC) pulled off what insiders are calling “one of the wildest player deals of the NIL era.” At the center of the frenzy is none other than Jamari “Jet” Lawson — the most decorated high school running back in the nation and a five-star phenom with offers from every Power Five school imaginable.
But in a twist nobody saw coming, Lawson, once a virtual lock for Georgia or Alabama, appears to be heading west.
Yes, west.
According to multiple high-level sources and Lawson’s cryptic social media posts, the Arizona Sun — a rising powerhouse in the Pac-12 revival — is on the verge of securing a commitment that would send shockwaves through college football: Lawson is flipping, and Arizona’s about to land their biggest recruit in program history.

The Deal That Changed Everything
At first, it was business as usual. Lawson, a 6’1”, 215-pound back from Atlanta, Georgia, was taking official visits to SEC blue bloods. Georgia rolled out the red carpet. LSU had him front-row at Death Valley. Saban even FaceTimed him from a yacht. But according to sources close to the situation, it was the NIL deal orchestrated with SEC backing that shook the table.
Yes, SEC. As in the conference.
In a bold new move reportedly part of a broader strategy to strengthen its media and brand reach nationwide, the SEC has begun leveraging its marketing partners to indirectly support top-tier athletes even when they go outside the traditional SEC footprint. And Arizona — now a newly-minted “partner program” thanks to realignment talks and media deal negotiations — has become a surprise benefactor.
Under the radar, Arizona’s athletic department finalized a massive NIL package: A seven-figure endorsement deal with a national athletic apparel brand, a documentary series deal with a major streaming platform, and — most controversially — an advisory board slot with a youth football foundation partially funded by SEC-aligned investors.
“Jamari isn’t just signing to play football,” said one anonymous recruiter. “He’s building a brand, and the SEC is still very much in that equation — even from Arizona.”

The Arizona Sun Moment
If this all seems impossible, it almost was. Arizona Sun head coach Miguel Sandoval took over just two seasons ago and flipped a 2–10 program into an 8–4 sleeper team with an aggressive spread offense and a swagger unseen in Tucson since the late ’90s.
Landing Lawson? That would be a nuclear statement.
“He’s not just fast,” Sandoval said in an interview earlier this spring, speaking hypothetically about recruiting a player very much like Lawson. “He’s a system-changer. A future Heisman contender. And if he believes in what we’re building? Well… here we go.”

The Imminent Announcement
Lawson has teased a “big drop” on his Instagram story, posting desert sunsets, cactus emojis, and an oddly familiar burnt orange-and-gold color palette. Sources say the commitment video — reportedly shot in the Arizona desert with drone footage and cinematic flair — is scheduled for release within 48 hours.
The post-NIL college football era has seen many wild twists. But this one may be the biggest yet:
The SEC making indirect moves in the Pac-12 sphere.
A player turning down every SEC titan.
Arizona becoming a legitimate recruiting threat.
All eyes are now on Lawson’s social media and the Arizona Sun’s official account.
One thing is clear:
Here we go.
