In a stunning turn of events, five-star football recruit **Jordan “J.T.” Reynolds** has shocked the college football world by rejecting a reported **$6.5 million NIL deal**, decommitting from **Rice University**, and committing to **LSU** over powerhouse programs **Notre Dame and Georgia**.
Reynolds, a **6-foot-5, 240-pound edge rusher** from Houston, Texas, had initially committed to Rice in what was considered one of the biggest underdog wins in recruiting history. However, sources close to the situation say the allure of competing in the **SEC** and developing under LSU’s elite coaching staff proved too strong to ignore.
