Aldine MacArthur High School (Houston, Texas) 3-star linebacker Jacoby Simpson de-committed from Arizona State in an announcement via his Twitter page Wednesday afternoon.
Simpson originally committed to ASU on Oct. 30., and is the fifth prospect from the 2018 class to de-commit. He follows tight end Brett Bell (Dec. 12) linebacker Kendrick Catis (Dec. 10), offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson (Dec. 6) and wide receiver Jalen Nailor (Nov. 27).
Simpson reopened his recruitment four days after he visited Kansas State on Dec. 9. Among 13 offers, Simpson received five from power five schools: Arkansas, Kansas, Louisville, ASU and KSU, but has only visited the Sun Devils and Wildcats.
