Jacoby Jackson decommits from TCU football, won’t be following in his dad’s footsteps
TCU football lost one of its 2021 commits on Monday.
Jacoby Jackson, a three-star offensive tackle out of Mansfield Summit, announced the news on his Twitter account.
“After a talk with my family, I have decided to de-commit from TCU,” Jackson wrote. “I would like to thank the whole staff for giving me the opportunity to play for their program.”
Jackson added “No love lost” above his post.
Jackson initially committed to TCU on June 19. His father, Cedric, played running back at the school from 1988-90.
The 6-foot-6, 320-pounder had offers from a number of schools. Along with TCU, Baylor, Boise State, Arizona, Texas Tech, Florida State, Iowa State, SMU, Oklahoma State and Mississippi State showed interest.
Jackson joins Manor safety Devin Lemear as the only players to decommit from TCU’s 2021 class. TCU currently has six commits in its 2021 class, which is ranked 10th in the Big 12 and 105th nationally by 247Sports.
