Three-Star Wide Receiver/Tight End Commit Mikkel Skinner Decommits from Cincinnati.
A Look Inside the Decommitment from Cincinnati
In a surprising turn of events, three-star wide receiver/tight end commit Mikkel Skinner has decommitted from the University of Cincinnati. Skinner, who is considered one of the top recruits in the state of Ohio, had been committed to the Bearcats since June 2022.
Reasons for Decommitment
According to sources close to Skinner, the decision to decommit was due to a number of factors, including the recent coaching change at Cincinnati. Skinner had built a strong relationship with former head coach Luke Fickell, and his departure left Skinner feeling uncertain about his future with the program. In addition, Skinner was reportedly unhappy with the lack of playing time he was promised at Cincinnati. With a number of talented receivers and tight ends already on the roster, Skinner felt that he would not have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the field.
Skinner's Options
With his decommitment from Cincinnati, Skinner is now free to explore other options. He has received interest from a number of Power Five schools, including Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. Skinner is expected to visit several schools in the coming weeks before making a final decision.
Impact on Cincinnati
Skinner's decommitment is a significant blow to Cincinnati's recruiting class. He was considered one of the cornerstones of the class, and his departure leaves a big hole to fill. The Bearcats will now need to focus on finding another talented receiver or tight end to fill Skinner's spot.
