Four-star wide receiver Daylan McCutcheon, ESPN's No. 134 prospect in the 2025 cycle, switched his commitment from Florida State to Texas on Thursday night, marking the Seminoles' fourth ESPN 300 exit from the 2025 class since the start of the regular season.

McCutcheon, a speedy wide receiver from Lovejoy High School, caught 92 passes for 1,430 yards and 20 touchdowns in his junior season last fall. He now joins four-star wide receivers Jaime Ffrench (No. 17 in ESPN 300) and Kaliq Lockett (No. 23) as the latest addition to one of the strongest wide receiver classes in 2025.
Texas currently ranks sixth in ESPN's 2025 team recruiting rankings.
