One of Ohio State’s talented verbal commitments, 4-star defensive back Terrance Brooks, flipped to Texas on Wednesday.
Brooks had originally committed to Ohio State back on June 30 of this year, but as things got closer to putting pen on paper, rumors started circulating that his home state of Texas with new head coach Steve Sarkisian and opportunities with Name, Image, and Likeness in the Austin area were starting to sway the prospect.
Things went quiet a few days prior to the early signing period, and it sure seemed like the writing was on the wall that the flip was on.
For Ohio State, it is a significant loss. The Buckeyes lost depth when Ryan Watts entered the transfer portal, and the rest of the secondary is still in flux with some youth and uncertainty.

We’ll keep an eye on this as we get more information, but in the new brave NIL world we are living in, these types of flips could become more and more the norm.
