Top in-state offensive tackle Jimmy Christ has decommited from the Virginia Cavaliers, he announced via his Twitter page on Friday.
Christ, a four-star recruit according to Rivals.com, had committed to play for UVA on April 30.
“I am so thankful for everything the coaching staff and university has done for me,” the 6’7, 285 pound high school senior said in his tweet. “It was not an easy decision but I think it is best for me to consider other options.”
Brother of current Wahoo defensive Tackle Tommy, Jimmy Christ’s decision comes as a blow to Bronco Mendenhall’s staff, who has tried to revitalize an inconsistent offensive line with new talent on the recruiting trail.
