Big news has hit Thursday evening as Lucas (Texas) Lovejoy four-star wide receiver Daylan McCutcheon has flipped his commitment away from Florida State in favor of the Texas Longhorns.

McCutcheon is ranked as the No. 96 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle. He also ranks as the No. 18 wide receiver and 16 prospect in the state of Texas.

McCutcheon originally committed to Florida State in July, choosing the Seminoles over Texas, USC, and Ohio State.

What Texas is getting in McCutcheon

McCutcheon has become known for being a silky smooth playmaker, able to play any wide receiver position on the field. Excels on the outside, where he loves to get vertical and attack downfield. His skillset is very dangerous in the slot, where is able to use space and find potential mismatches in the defense.

A crafty route runner, McCutcheon creates seperation at the line simply with his feet and agility. He then is able to use his speed to get further down the field. McCutcheon may also have a claim as one of the best pure ball trackers in this class. HIs ability to adjust and play the ball while keeping himself in favorable position is a massive skill of his moving forward.

The hands on McCutcheon are also elite. He often catches away from his body and quickly secures it to continue making a play. He will also show off acrobatic and one handed catches that most wideouts would not have a chance at. Yards after catch is also going to be one of the biggest attributes of McCutcheon's game. His ability to separate and navigate through traffic as smoothly as he does bodes well for his future.
