Breaking News: Strong-Armed QB Landon Jackson Shocks Arkansas Razorbacks, Flips Commitment to South Carolina Gamecocks
In a stunning development, highly-touted quarterback prospect Landon Jackson has officially decommitted from the Arkansas Razorbacks and committed to the South Carolina Gamecocks. The news comes as a surprise to fans and analysts alike, as Jackson had previously been a key recruit for Arkansas, with his commitment to the Razorbacks seen as a major win for head coach Sam Pittman and his staff.
The 6’5″, 220-pound signal-caller, known for his impressive arm strength and ability to make throws at all levels of the field, had been a key target for the Razorbacks for months. However, in a dramatic turn of events, Jackson revealed his decision to flip to South Carolina, citing a combination of factors, including the opportunity to play in the SEC East and the trust he has in the Gamecocks’ coaching staff.
“I’ve put a lot of thought into this decision,” Jackson said in a statement released through his social media. “After meeting with Coach Beamer and the staff at South Carolina, I truly feel that this is the best place for me to develop as a player and person. I believe in their vision, and I’m excited to be part of the Gamecocks family.”
The announcement sent shockwaves through the Arkansas fanbase, which had been excited about Jackson’s potential as a future star under center. His decommitment is seen as a major loss for the Razorbacks, as they had been counting on him to lead the offense in the coming years.
South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer was quick to congratulate Jackson on his decision, stating, “We’re thrilled to welcome Landon to Columbia. His skill set is exactly what we need to take our offense to the next level, and we believe he has the potential to be a game-changer for us.”
The Gamecocks have been steadily building momentum in recruiting, and landing a quarterback of Jackson’s caliber only adds to their growing pipeline of talent. With Jackson’s flip, South Carolina’s recruiting class continues to gain national attention, especially as they look to compete with their SEC rivals in the years to come.
Jackson is ranked as one of the top quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting class, and his commitment to South Carolina is expected to have ripple effects in the college football landscape. Razorbacks fans, meanwhile, will now be left wondering how this loss will impact their future recruiting efforts at the quarterback position.
