Top 10 WRs in 2026 Class: 5-Star Jabari Mack Decommits from Destrehan, Flips Commitment to Ohio State Over LSU Tigers and Arkansas Razorbacks
In a stunning turn of events, 5-star wide receiver Jabari Mack, one of the most coveted prospects in the 2026 recruiting class, has officially decommitted from Destrehan High School and flipped his commitment to Ohio State. Mack, a dynamic playmaker with exceptional speed and route-running skills, had previously given his verbal commitment to LSU, but it appears the Buckeyes’ late push proved too compelling.
Mack’s decision to flip has sent shockwaves through the recruiting world, as LSU had long been considered the favorite to land the highly-touted receiver. In addition to the Tigers, the Arkansas Razorbacks had made significant strides in their recruitment of Mack, but ultimately, it was Ohio State’s strong tradition of developing wide receivers and its explosive offense under head coach Ryan Day that won out.
At 6’2″ and 190 pounds, Mack is known for his ability to stretch the field and make plays in all phases of the game. His agility, combined with his excellent ball skills, makes him a nightmare for defenders. Coaches around the country have been raving about his potential to make an immediate impact at the collegiate level.
The decommitment marks a shift in the landscape of the 2026 wide receiver class. As one of the top-ranked wideouts, Mack’s decision will have a ripple effect on recruiting across the nation, particularly in the SEC, where LSU and Arkansas will need to adjust their strategies to fill the void left by his departure.
Ohio State now gains a major weapon in their already potent offensive attack, adding to their impressive recruiting class. With Mack’s decommitment, all eyes will now be on how LSU and Arkansas adjust their recruiting efforts to find the next big playmaker. Meanwhile, Buckeye fans are celebrating as they add one of the most dynamic receivers in the class to their roster.
