5-Star WR Chase Roberts Stuns College Football World, Decommits from BYU and Flips to Kentucky Over Penn State, Tennessee, and More

Lexington, KY – In a stunning move that has shaken up the college football recruiting landscape, 5-star wide receiver Chase Roberts has officially decommitted from BYU and announced his commitment to the Kentucky Wildcats, choosing them over national powerhouses Penn State, Tennessee, and others.

Roberts, one of the top wide receiver prospects in the nation, was long expected to suit up for BYU, but after reassessing his options, he decided to take his talents to Lexington. His decision comes as a massive recruiting victory for Kentucky, which continues to elevate its presence in the highly competitive SEC.

“This was a really tough decision, but after talking with my family and coaches, I feel like Kentucky is the best place for me,” Roberts said in his announcement. “The coaching staff, the offensive system, and the opportunity to compete in the SEC made it impossible to pass up.”

With Roberts now committed, Kentucky secures an elite playmaker who could make an immediate impact in their offense. The Wildcats have been working aggressively to compete with the SEC’s top-tier programs, and landing a talent like Roberts signals their growing ability to recruit at a national level.

Meanwhile, Penn State, Tennessee, and others had heavily pursued Roberts, hoping to land the highly touted wideout, but Kentucky’s vision for his role in their offense ultimately won him over.

This major recruiting flip reinforces the Wildcats’ growing reputation as a serious contender in college football, and Roberts’ commitment could help attract even more top talent to Lexington.
