In a stunning turn of events, five-star recruit Brandon Arrington has flipped his commitment from the Oregon Ducks to the Michigan Wolverines. The highly sought-after wide receiver announced his decision via a social media post, citing his belief in Michigan’s program and its ability to prepare him for the next level as key factors in his choice.

 

Arrington, a 6’3” dynamic playmaker from Southern California, is ranked among the top 10 players in the 2025 recruiting class. Known for his elite combination of speed, size, and route-running ability, Arrington has been on the radar of nearly every major college football program. Initially committed to Oregon, his flip to Michigan is a major win for head coach Jim Harbaugh and the Wolverines’ recruiting staff.

 

“After much thought and prayer, I have decided to decommit from Oregon and continue my football journey with the Michigan Wolverines,” Arrington said in his announcement. “Michigan’s winning culture, player development, and the opportunity to compete for championships were too good to pass up. Go Blue!”

 

Arrington’s flip comes after a recent official visit to Ann Arbor, where he was reportedly impressed by Michigan’s coaching staff, facilities, and the family-like atmosphere within the program. The Wolverines’ current success, including back-to-back Big Ten championships and College Football Playoff appearances, also played a significant role in his decision.

 

Michigan’s offensive scheme under Harbaugh, which emphasizes balance and creating opportunities for wide receivers to thrive, was another appealing factor for Arrington. The Wolverines have consistently produced NFL-ready talent, and Arrington sees himself continuing that trend.

 

For Oregon, losing Arrington is a significant blow to their 2025 recruiting class, which had been one of the most highly ranked in the nation. The Ducks had built their class around Arrington’s commitment, and his departure creates a void they’ll need to address in the coming months.

 

Arrington’s decision highlights Michigan’s growing dominance on the recruiting trail, particularly in pulling top talent from across the country. Harbaugh and his staff have proven adept at identifying and securing commitments from elite players, even when competing against powerhouse programs like Oregon.

 

With Arrington now part of Michigan’s 2025 class, the Wolverines have added yet another game-changing athlete to their roster. His ability to stretch the field and make contested catches will undoubtedly bolster Michigan’s offense in the years to come.

 

As Arrington prepares for his senior season of high school football, Michigan fans can already envision him making electrifying plays in the maize and blue, continuing the Wolverines’ tradition of excellence on the national stage.
