QB Tylin Oden decommits from Louisville

This isn’t a huge surprise, but 2016 QB Tylin Oden has decommitted from Louisville, according to 247 Sports. Oden did just give a couple of interviews where he said he was still a solid commit to Louisville and was looking forward to the competition, but you really can’t blame him for looking elsewhere. UofL will have six other quarterbacks on the roster in 2016 that will be competing for playing time.

The other six quarterbacks for 2016 for UofL project to be: Reggie Bonnafon, Will Gardner, Kyle Bolin, Tyler Ferguson, Lamar Jackson, and Jawon Pass.

Best of luck to Oden in the future.

*Update 1:00 pm* – Oden tells 247 that he is technically still committed to Louisville, but is just opening his recruitment back up and will talk to other schools. He had shut down his recruitment but will now at least explore his options. I don’t expect that he stays with the Cards. There are likely other situations where teams have less QBs.
