Baby Gronk has flipped again!

The football prodigy, who caused a stir online by proclaiming that he “HAS COMMITTED TO THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY” last monthhas repeated his antic for another team, this time with the Ole Miss Rebels. Fans have grown weary of his pronouncements targeting several schools, including powerhouses like Michigan Wolverines and Texas Longhorns. The online football community described the 11-year-old’s antics as “NASTY business” and tagged the kid as an “attention seeker.” But it appears that he’s got the attention of at least one head coach.  

The drama involving Baby Gronk peaked when he released a “Top 30” list, sparking rumors he might commit to all 30 schools in the coming days. True to form, he’s already pledged to half of them within a month, leaving fans wondering if he’ll manage the remaining 15 in just the next month!

Baby Gronk recently posted a photo in an Ole Miss jersey, announcing his commitment to the Rebels. This announcement came just a few hours after he was supposedly committed to Texas A&M. There is speculation that Baby Gronk’s father, Jake Miguel, may be the one managing his social media accounts and orchestrating this online drama.

The situation became more complex when Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin reposted the “Baby Gronk’s commitment” statement on his social media account. While Kiffin’s intentions are unclear, this situation raises questions about Baby Gronk’s genuine commitment and sincerity.

His dedication to micromanaging his diet and scheduling his football training is impressive. Even at such a young age, he managed to grab an amazing 20 touchdowns and rushed for over 1,000 yards. However, despite all this hard work, his online behavior seems to be negatively impacting his future chances in the NCAA. The question arises: Is he a genuine prodigy or simply a social media prankster?

A couple of weeks ago, Baby Gronk made a big deal online about wanting to play for Deion Sanders’ Colorado Buffaloes. He even posted a fancy graphic with Coach Prime and Buffs’ two-way phenom Travis Hunter. Baby Gronk said he had a “lengthy conversation” with the head coach, who even said he “could be the next Travis Hunter.” While trying to analyze if his statement was true, he soon switched to Nebraska.

Although Deion Sanders did not respond to Baby Gronk’s online commitment to Colorado, Lane Kiffin took notice of his antics this time. While Kiffin hasn’t said anything publicly, this back-and-forth with coaches might hurt Baby Gronk’s future. He’s still young, but these online pranks could create problems if he keeps changing his mind years down the road when it really matters for college football. Some might see his constant “flips” as a way to build his online presence, but what if they’re actually hurting his image in the long run?
