Shyheim Carter has been committed to Alabama for more than a year, but has now backed off that pledge.
Carter, a four-star defensive back from Kentwood, La., announced on his locked Twitter page that "I'm officially decommitting from the University of Alabama."
Carter is the No. 5 overall cornerback in the country and No. 51 prospect according to the 247Sports composite rankings.
Ole Miss and LSU have always been mentioned as other schools in Carter's recruitment. But Carter said at The Opening that Oregon was a school where he wanted to take an official visit.
