Tyreese Fearbry backs off of commitment to Penn State

On the Fourth of July, it appeared the top prospect on Pitt’s recruiting board had been lost to a bitter rival, as Perry defensive end Tyreese Fearbry committed to Penn State. However, on Thursday, Fearbry announced that he had decommitted from Penn State, apparently reopening his recruitment.

“I will be decommitting from Penn State until further notice,” Fearbry said in a message posted on Twitter. He offered no elaboration on what brought about his change of heart.

Prior to his commitment to Penn State, Fearbry was down to a final four that also included Auburn, Kentucky and Pitt.
