Oklahoma has taken a hit on the recruiting trail.
Four-star 2020 Deerfield Beach (Fla.) running back Jaylan Knighton backed out of his verbal pledge to the Sooners this week.
He announced his decision via Twitter.
Knighton gave OU an early verbal pledge back in April over offers from Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, LSU and others.
At 5-foot-9, 173 pounds, Knighton is ranked as the No. 11 running back and No. 111 overall recruit in the country, per 247Sports Composite.
Oklahoma is down to four verbal pledges in its 2020 recruiting class.
