BREAKING: Massive Recruiting Coup for Longhorns as Elite 5-Star Tight End Oscar Delp Stuns SEC Rivals, Flips Commitment from Georgia Bulldogs to Texas in Blockbuster Move Over Texas A&M, LSU, and Florida

In a stunning and potentially program-altering development, the Texas Longhorns have pulled off one of the biggest recruiting coups of the year by flipping elite 5-star tight end Oscar Delp from the Georgia Bulldogs. The move sent shockwaves across the college football landscape, as Delp, long considered a Georgia lock and a cornerstone of the Bulldogs’ future offense, has now pledged his commitment to Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns — spurning fellow SEC powerhouses Texas A&M, LSU, and Florida in the process.

Delp, ranked among the top tight ends nationally and widely regarded for his rare combination of size, athleticism, and route-running precision, had been a key part of Georgia’s 2025 recruiting class. His decision to flip to Texas not only weakens a perennial SEC powerhouse but also signals a shift in momentum as the Longhorns continue to assert themselves in their new conference home.

Sources close to Delp cite Sarkisian’s offensive vision and track record with tight ends — coupled with the explosive rise of Texas in both recruiting and national relevance — as major factors in the decision. Texas’ recent resurgence on the field, including a deep College Football Playoff run, has only added to the program’s appeal for top-tier talent.

This blockbuster recruiting win also represents a symbolic victory in the arms race for SEC dominance. Not only did Texas outmaneuver Georgia, but it also beat out traditional SEC rivals like Texas A&M and LSU, who had been aggressively pursuing Delp with NIL incentives and deep-rooted recruiting relationships in the Southeast.

For Texas, landing Delp is more than just adding another blue-chip talent — it’s a statement. It confirms the Longhorns’ rising influence in SEC recruiting circles and further validates the vision Sarkisian and his staff have been building in Austin.

Georgia, on the other hand, now faces the tough task of recalibrating after losing one of its most prized commitments. While the Bulldogs remain a recruiting juggernaut, the loss of Delp could open the door for other programs to gain momentum against the reigning SEC powers.

As signing day approaches, all eyes will be on Austin — where the Longhorns just proved they’re no longer just competing with the big boys. They’re taking wins away from them.
