Jeremiah Caldwell had been committed to
Kentucky since January, but he was also recruited by former assistant coach
Steve Clinkscale, who’s now at
Michigan, and so the writing started to go on the wall that a decommitment could be coming.
That happened in recent days and now the Belleville, Mich., four-star cornerback is back on the market with
Michigan State showing interest and a new offer from
Tennessee.
But the four-star has reopened his recruitment and this one could especially sting if he ends up in Knoxville.
NATIONAL REACTION
"I like Caldwell on tape. He’s fast, explosive, he can diagram plays and react to them, he hits and he goads the quarterback sometimes to make a throw that Caldwell can pick off. At receiver, the four-star is electric and athletic, so Kentucky would have been well-served if it could have kept him in the class.
"If Michigan State lands Caldwell it is still a decent-sized miss for the Wildcats, but if the four-star ends up in Tennessee’s class then the sting is pretty significant because then Kentucky will have to face him as both SEC schools look to keep climbing up the division ranks. The Vols could be in good shape for him."
