BREAKING: 4-Star Prospect Flips Commitment from Kentucky to Louisville
*Jamal “Jet” Thompson shocks Bluegrass fans with last-minute switch to Cards*
*LOUISVILLE, KY — September 22, 2025*
In a stunning turn of events, *Jamal “Jet” Thompson*, a 4-star outfielder from Lexington, has flipped his commitment from the *Kentucky Wildcats* to archrival *Louisville Cardinals*, sending shockwaves through the college baseball world.
Thompson, who committed to Kentucky earlier this year, announced the flip in a surprise social media post featuring him in a Louisville jersey with the caption: *“Cardinal for life. Business decision.”*
The move comes just weeks before National Signing Day and marks a major win for Louisville’s 2026 recruiting class — and a bitter loss for Big Blue Nation.
“I’ve thought long and hard about this,” Thompson said in a statement. “At the end of the day, Louisville felt like the place where I can grow the most — on and off the field.”
*Louisville head coach Dan McDonnell* didn’t hide his excitement: “Jamal is a game-changer. He chose competition, culture, and a vision bigger than himself.”
Kentucky coaches have yet to comment, but sources say the flip caught them completely off guard.
