BREAKING: Top Florida QB Aidan Warner Flips Commitment to Arkansas Over Tennessee, Michigan, and Others — Welcome to the Razorbacks
In a major recruiting coup for the Arkansas Razorbacks, four-star quarterback Aidan Warner has officially flipped his commitment from Michigan to Arkansas, stunning college football fans and analysts across the country. The standout from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, had previously pledged to Michigan earlier this summer but reopened his recruitment just weeks ago. After intense pursuit from multiple Power Five programs, Warner announced his decision to commit to Arkansas on Monday morning.
“After careful thought and many conversations with my family and coaches, I’m proud to announce that I’m committing to the University of Arkansas,” Warner posted on social media. “Thank you to all the schools that recruited me. I’m ready to be a Razorback.”
Warner, rated as the No. 7 quarterback nationally and the No. 4 overall player in Florida by 247Sports, had drawn interest from blue-blood programs including Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, and Michigan. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound signal-caller is known for his arm strength, poise in the pocket, and ability to extend plays under pressure — traits that made him one of the most coveted quarterback prospects in the 2025 class.
Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman and offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino spearheaded the Razorbacks’ aggressive recruitment of Warner, making multiple visits to Florida this summer and hosting the quarterback for an unofficial visit in early August. Sources close to Warner’s camp say the visit to Fayetteville was a turning point in his recruitment, citing Arkansas’ pro-style offense, early playing time potential, and strong player development as key factors in his decision.
“Coach Pittman and Coach Petrino really made me feel like a priority,” Warner told 247Sports. “It’s not just about football. They care about me as a person. The energy in that building is different. I want to be part of that.”
For Arkansas, Warner’s commitment is a massive win and a momentum booster for their 2025 recruiting class. The Razorbacks now hold a top-15 class nationally, with Warner joining an offensive group that already includes four-star wideout Jaylen Briggs and tight end Collin Matthews. Warner’s decision also signals Arkansas’ increasing ability to compete with SEC heavyweights and national powers for elite talent.
Meanwhile, the flip leaves Michigan scrambling for answers at quarterback, as Warner was expected to be the crown jewel of their 2025 class. The Wolverines will now likely re-engage with other top targets, including five-star QB Trey Daniels and California standout Malik Foster.
Tennessee, which had been pushing hard in the final days leading up to Warner’s announcement, is also left looking for alternatives.
With his commitment now locked in, Warner plans to enroll early and join the Razorbacks in January 2025. Fans in Fayetteville can now look forward to a new face of the program — one with the talent, charisma, and leadership to make an immediate impact in the SEC.
