When it comes to college football recruiting, this is why player commitments are non-binding.On Wednesday evening Chase Clark — who just two weeks ago committed to play football for Oklahoma State — announced he was changing his commitment to Purdue. Clark announced the move on social media with video and still photos from his recent visit to Purdue. Geographically, the move makes sense. Clark is from Chicago and plays his high school football at Mount Carmel. But Clark committed just a couple of days after his official visit to Stillwater. He was also one of three offensive linemen to commit to OSU and new head coach Eric Morris.The Class of 2027 now has eight players. Clark represents the first flip of a member of the class. Chase Clark’s Flip to PurdueAll Glory to God!! 🚂⬆️!! #committed #AGTG @Coach_Crab @Coach_Simms7577 @Coach_Odom @BoilerFootball @CU_sportsgroup @AaronGarland26 @OLMafia @GregSmithRivals @AllenTrieu @EDGYTIM @247Sports pic.twitter.com/i9LPgumo42— Chase Clark ‘27 (@ChaseClark35) June 18, 2026Clark was one of several out-of-state commitments that Morris and his staff have landed since Iowa Colony (Texas) quarterback was their first verbal commitment in April. OSU was building a starting offensive line in this first full cycle recruiting class under Morris. Clark, a 6-4, 270-pound lineman, projected more as a guard on paper. Per 247Sports.com he was considered a Top 110 interior offensive lineman in the nation. He would have been in the same class with two other offensive linemen that have committed — Sonny Mullen of Troy, Texas, and Jake Baker of Ensworth High School in Nashville, Tenn. The Cowboys have one of the lowest-rated recruiting classes among power conference schools so far this cycle. All eight of its commitments are three-star players. Clark was considered a three-star player as well. Add us as a preferred source on GoogleFollow
