Sometimes the players that are recruited end up changing their minds, which is what happened earlier this week for former commit Tommy Lafayette. After committing to Stanford in late June, running back Tommy Lafayette has recently reversed his decision, announcing on his X/Twitter account on Wednesday that he was decommitting from the Cardinal.

For reasons not yet fully known, Lafayette said on his Twitter account that due to recent circumstances, he was decommitting from the school and reopening his recruitment.
