Three-star safety Edwin White has decommitted from Tennessee, he announced on Twitter Tuesday night.
White is the second recruit to decommit from the Vols on the eve of the early signing period beginning. He joins three-star in-state athlete Elijah Howard, who decommitted from Tennessee and committed to Virginia Tech just moments before White’s announcement.
“I would first like to thank the coaching staff at The University of Tennessee, for believing in me and offering me my first year in high school,” White said in a tweet. “But I would like to decommit from Tennessee to open my options up again to find a true home.”
