UNC’s till-now exciting class of 2020 took a major blow yesterday, with one of its top-ranked players, quarterback Malik Hornsby, deciding to re-open his commitment. He announced it to the public via Twitter:
This decommitment comes just two months after his commitment, though Mack Brown and company have been busy in those two months. This includes what’s probably one of the primary factors in this decision for Hornsby, namely the commitment of another 4-star dual-threat quarterback from the Tornado Belt: Jacolby Criswell. For that reason, this move doesn’t come as a huge surprise from Hornsby, who took a visit to hometown Texas A&M (the school that was on him hardest before UNC got involved) in the intervening time, soon after Criswell’s commitment.
