The Texas Longhorns are keeping one of the state’s best wide receivers home. On Thursday, Lucas Lovejoy 4-star wideout Daylan McCutcheon flipped his commitment from Florida State to the Longhorns.
McCutcheon was one of the top remaining targets we discussed in last week’s 2024 Recruiting Review. McCutcheon is ranked No. 96 in the 2025 class by Rivals, No. 134 by ESPN, No. 105 by On3 and No. 227 by 247Sports. His 247Sports composite ranking (an average of all recruiting services) is No. 107.
McCutcheon committed to Florida State in July. But two weeks ago, he was in Austin for the Mississippi State game. Jason Suchomel of Rival.com says things really started trending towards the Longhorns after that visit.

Suchomel says the WR privately decommitted from the Seminoles on Wednesday before officially flipping his commitment to the Horns Thursday.
“It all started yesterday. Leading up to yesterday, I had a conversation with my parents. Seeing the circumstances going on at Florida State, I want to accomplish all of my goals. Florida State is a great program, but it felt it wasn’t the right place. Yesterday I decommitted … then this morning, I called coach (Steve Sarkisian) and coach (Chris) Jackson, told them I planned to commit to the because offensively, they provide a great opportunity for me to be able to accomplish my goals and be successful. At the end of the day, I want to go to the NFL and Texas provides best opportunity for that.” Daylan McCutcheon told Rivals.com
Suchomel says the 6-0, 175 pound 4-star is being recruited by Texas to play in the slot. Now that he’s committed to Texas, McCucheon tells Rivals he plans to completely shut down his recruitment.
