Kirby Smart Signs 10-Year Extension to Remain Georgia Bulldogs Head Coach, Cementing Long-Term Commitment
In a stunning turn of events, top quarterback prospect Kurtis Rourke has announced his decision to decommit from Indiana University and flip his commitment to the Tennessee Volunteers. Rourke, who had previously been a key part of Indiana’s 2025 recruiting class, made the announcement on social media, sending shockwaves through the college football world.
The Canadian-born quarterback had been highly sought after by numerous programs, but his decision to join Tennessee comes as a major win for head coach Josh Heupel and his staff. Tennessee has been aggressively recruiting elite talent to continue building on their recent success in the SEC, and landing Rourke marks a significant addition to their future roster.
Rourke cited Tennessee’s offensive system and the opportunity to work with Heupel, a renowned quarterback developer, as major factors in his decision. “The way Tennessee utilizes their quarterbacks really aligns with my strengths, and I believe Coach Heupel can help me reach my full potential,” Rourke said in a statement.
Indiana, meanwhile, will now have to regroup and search for a replacement, as Rourke was expected to be a cornerstone for their future offense. This decommitment comes at a tough time for Indiana, which has been working to rebuild its program under head coach Tom Allen.
Tennessee fans are already buzzing with excitement, as Rourke is known for his dual-threat abilities and strong arm, traits that fit well within Heupel’s fast-paced, high-octane offense. As Rourke looks ahead to his future with the Volunteers, expectations are high that he could become a star in the SEC.
With this commitment, Tennessee continues to establish itself as a premier destination for top-tier quarterbacks, setting the stage for more recruiting success in the years to come.
