2021 5-star quarterback Brock Vandagriff (Prince Avenue School in Bogart, Georgia) committed to Oklahoma over the summer, choosing the Sooners over the in-state Georgia Bulldogs and nearby Florida Gators.
On Wednesday, though, Vandagriff announced on Twitter that he has decommitted from Oklahoma and will be reopening his recruitment.

Georgia was one of his finalists when he committed to Oklahoma, and told SI that Sooners’ head coach Lincoln Riley was the main factor in choosing Oklahoma. Additionally, he said that Georgia was “right there” with the Sooners and it sounds like Kirby Smart came close to pulling it off the first time around.
Vandagriff, who stands at 6’2″ and weighs 200 pounds, is the nation’s No. 8 prospect in the class of 2021 and ranks as the top pro-style quarterback. But don’t be fooled by the “pro-style” title next to his name on recruiting websites; Vandagriff ran a 4.69 40 time and rushed for over 1,000 yards as a sophomore.
Another name to keep an eye on in the 2021 class is dual-threat quarterback Caleb Williams (Washington DC), who 247Sports sees as a Georgia lean at the moment. He is the No. 15 overall player and top ranked dual-threat quarterback.
