BREAKING: 5-Star Tight End Oscar Delp Flips Commitment to Florida Gators in Stunning Move, Choosing Swamp Over Seminoles and Tigers — Gator Nation Erupts in Celebration
Gainesville, FL — ESPN REPORT
In a recruiting bombshell that’s shaking the foundations of college football, Oscar Delp, the highly coveted 5-star tight end out of Cumming, Georgia, has officially decommitted from the Georgia Bulldogs and will now be suiting up for the Florida Gators. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound athletic marvel made his announcement earlier today, stunning analysts and igniting a firestorm of excitement across Gator Nation.
Delp had long been considered a Georgia lock, having originally committed to the Bulldogs as part of their powerhouse 2025 recruiting class. But after weeks of speculation and several high-profile visits, Delp announced via a live-streamed event that he would be taking his talents to The Swamp, choosing the Gators over other top finalists, including the Florida State Seminoles and the LSU Tigers.
> “This wasn’t easy,” Delp said, flanked by family and high school coaches. “Georgia will always be special, but after talking with Coach Billy Napier and the Gator staff, visiting Gainesville, and really picturing myself in that system — I knew my heart was in Florida. I’m ready to be a Gator.”
The announcement sent social media into a frenzy as fans, alumni, and analysts scrambled to dissect what many are calling the biggest recruiting flip of the year. With a rare combination of size, speed, and elite hands, Delp is not only projected as a future NFL star but is also expected to be a day-one contributor for the Gators.
Florida head coach Billy Napier, who has been on a mission to rebuild and rebrand the Gators into an SEC powerhouse, couldn’t contain his enthusiasm:
> “Oscar is a game-changer,” Napier said in a statement following the commitment. “He represents the kind of talent, toughness, and tenacity we’re building this program around. Gator Nation, get ready — we’re just getting started.”
Delp’s switch is a significant blow to Georgia, who had hoped to use him as a cornerstone of their tight end-heavy offensive attack. Meanwhile, Florida State and LSU — both believed to be heavily in the mix — are left to wonder what could have been.
What Delp Brings to The Swamp
At 6’5”, 245 lbs, Delp is a matchup nightmare — too fast for linebackers, too big for defensive backs. He’s known for his precise route-running, soft hands, and nasty blocking skills. In his junior season at West Forsyth High School, Delp racked up 1,100 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns, earning him national recognition and comparisons to the likes of Travis Kelce and George Kittle.
With Florida’s offense trending toward a more balanced, pro-style system under Napier, Delp’s skillset fits perfectly into the blueprint.
Gator Nation Reacts
Within minutes of the announcement, “Welcome Oscar” was trending on X (formerly Twitter), and the Florida locker room reportedly erupted in cheers as news of the commitment spread.
> “That’s the spark we needed. We’re building something scary in Gainesville,” said one current Florida player on Instagram Live. “The Swamp just got deeper.”
Final Thoughts
Oscar Delp’s decision isn’t just a win for the Florida Gators — it’s a statement. The recruiting battles in the SEC are fierce, and this one was a heavyweight title bout. With Delp now on board, Florida sends a clear message to the rest of college football:
The Gators are back — and they’re coming for everyone.
Welcome to the family, Oscar Delp. The Swamp awaits. 🐊💥
