4-star WR Jaiden Kelly-Murray backs off pledge to South Carolina
Jaiden Kelly-Murray committed to South Carolina in March while on campus in Columbia. That happened on March 13, and on April 13, the four-star wide receiver out of Summerville (S.C.) Oceanside Collegiate Academy has decommitted.
“I feel like I rushed my decision a little, and committing early did not allow me to go through the recruiting process and get the full experience,” Kelly-Murray told Rivals.
Kelly-Murray was at Virginia Tech over the weekend, and his interest is “high” in the Hokies. There is some chatter about James Franklin‘s program now being the favorite, but the No. 202 prospect in the Rivals300 is not planning to rush this next decision.
