Wide receiver Braylen Ross of Crean Lutheran in Irvine, California, has announced his decision to flip his commitment from Arizona to Oklahoma State.
The recruit, who previously pledged to the Wildcats in May, finalized the change after attending an official visit over the Halloween weekend, according to Yahoo Sports.
Ross expressed that the trip to Stillwater was a significant factor in his decision-making process.
Regarding his immediate connection to the campus, Ross noted, “I fell in love with the school on that visit.”
He further explained that the program’s offensive scheme and the atmosphere during the Homecoming game were major draws.
“I loved everything about it and obviously really like the football program,” Ross said, as reported by On3.
The athlete noted that the fan support he witnessed during the recent home game exceeded his expectations.
“I had never been to a game and seen fan support like that,” he added.
Ross also highlighted the importance of his relationship with the coaching staff, specifically mentioning Coach Morris and Coach Edwards.
He stated that the coaches made him feel like a high priority since they extended an offer in September.
While acknowledging the difficulty of moving away from his previous commitment, he expressed respect for the Arizona staff while emphasizing that the move to Oklahoma State was the right choice for his future.
The receiver has enjoyed a breakout season at Crean Lutheran after transferring from San Diego Lincoln earlier this year.
Malik James of James Sports Group praised the recruit’s physical attributes and skill set, identifying him as one of the top receivers in the region.
“He’s tall, he’s physical, has big hands, has a high end skill set, and great body control,” James stated regarding the prospect’s potential.
Ross is now looking forward to beginning his career as a college athlete with the Cowboys.
