“Twins Devontae and Deontae Decommit from Ohio State, Commit to BYU Football in Shocking Recruiting Move”
In a significant development for college football recruiting, twin brothers Devontae and Deontae, who had previously committed to play for Ohio State, have officially decommitted and instead decided to join the BYU Cougars. The pair’s unexpected decision has sent shockwaves through the recruiting world, as Ohio State had long been considered the favorite to land the highly touted twin athletes.
Devontae, a standout wide receiver, and Deontae, a versatile cornerback, had been key targets for multiple programs across the country. Their high school performances in both offense and defense made them one of the most coveted sets of twins in the 2025 recruiting class. Ohio State had initially secured their verbal commitment earlier in 2024, with the expectation that both would be crucial contributors to the Buckeyes’ future football success.
However, in early January 2025, the twins made the surprise announcement that they would be decommitting from Ohio State and committing to BYU. The brothers expressed their excitement about the opportunity to play for the Cougars, citing the school’s strong football program, the welcoming atmosphere of the team, and the opportunity to compete at a high level.
BYU, known for its strong recruitment of talented players, was quick to welcome the duo, with head coach Kalani Sitake praising their athleticism and potential. The addition of Devontae and Deontae to BYU’s roster is seen as a game-changer for the Cougars, providing a boost to both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.
For the twins, their commitment to BYU marks a new chapter in their football careers, one that promises to offer both challenges and exciting opportunities at the collegiate level. Football fans will certainly be eager to see how this new chapter unfolds for the dynamic duo.
