Pinson (Ala.) Pinson Valley three-star wide receiver Amare Thomas has decommitted from Virginia, he announced on Wednesday.

Thomas committed to the Cavaliers in June over offers from Penn State, Liberty, Jackson State, Coastal Carolina and a handful of other programs.

“First off I would like to thank The University Of Virginia, Coach Elliot and the rest of the coaching staff for offering me the privilege of playing football at the next level,” he wrote on Twitter. “However after long conversation discussing the best opportunity for Me and my family, I have decided to decommit from The University of Virginia. Please Respect My Decision.”

Thomas is the No. 910 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 129 wide receiver and the No. 31 senior recruit in the state of Alabama.

With his departure, Virginia now has just 12 commits in its 2023 recruiting class, which came into the day ranked No. 65 nationally in the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings.
