In one of the most eye-catching recruiting stories of the year, the Southern Miss Golden Eagles have secured a commitment from a truly unique talent—a 7-foot-5, 257-pound, 4-star quarterback who had previously committed to Michigan. The towering signal-caller chose Southern Miss over offers from Mississippi State, South Alabama, and Marshall, sending shockwaves through the college football recruiting world.
Standing at a staggering 7-foot-5, this quarterback instantly becomes one of the most physically imposing players in college football history. With his incredible frame, elite arm strength, and surprising mobility for his size, he presents a matchup nightmare for defenses.
His decision to flip from Michigan to Southern Miss marks a major recruiting win for the Golden Eagles, who are looking to make a statement in the Sun Belt Conference.
While Michigan and other Power Five programs made strong pushes, sources indicate that the quarterback valued early playing time, a system tailored to his strengths, and a coaching staff that fully believed in his potential. Southern Miss offered all three, making it an ideal destination for his development.
Head coach Will Hall has been known for his creative offensive schemes, and with a player of this size and skill set, expect the Golden Eagles to build an offense that maximizes his unique abilities.
The arrival of this massive quarterback immediately shifts the outlook for Southern Miss’ future. If he lives up to the hype, the Golden Eagles could be a surprise contender in their conference, drawing national attention in the process.
One thing is for sure—college football has never seen a quarterback quite like this.
