3-star Miguel Mitchell decommits from Vandy, 3rd player to do so this week

It has not been a good week for Vanderbilt on the recruiting trail. And it got even worse Wednesday.

Oxford (Ala.) three-star athlete Miguel Mitchell decommitted from the Commodores on Wednesday night.

“I have changed my plans and I would like to say that I am decommitting from Vanderbilt University and reopening recruitment,” Mitchell tweeted. “Decommitting is the hardest thing to do but it is a business decision that I had to make for myself and my family.

He is the third decommitment this week after Warner Robins (Ga.) Houston County three-star cornerback Caleb Coley and Pinson (Ala.) Pinson Valley three-star athlete B.J. Diakite.

During this time, they have picked up a commitment from Warner Robins (Ga.) Warner Robins wide receiver Daveon Walker.

“This decision comes after a lot of time spent in prayer and discussions with my family,” Mitchell tweeted. “I am grateful foe Coach (Clark) Lea and his staff for ofering me a scholarship and the time they have put unto building relationships with me and my family. The entire staff at Vanderbilt University has been nothing short of amazing for us.”
