College Football Recruiting: Senior Prospects Who May Flip Their Verbal Commitment

If Wednesday was any indication, the college football recruiting class of 2022 is in for a wild finish on the trail.

Solely among SI99-ranked recruits, the nation's No. 2 linebacker Shemar James backed off of a commitment to Florida and No. 4 interior defensive lineman Mykell Williamsflipped his pledge from USC to Georgia. Each, representing the highest-ranked recruit on the respective list before making the move, was on campus in Athens over the weekend for a visit.

There are always spurts of decommitments and changes of heart in flipping a verbal commitment from one program to the other, so it's never too early to look at potential moves to be made late in the recruiting cycle.
