A&M LOSES QB COMMIT–ASST. COACH TWEETS ADD FUEL TO FIRE

The de-commitment of one highly-regarded quarterback prospect led to an rough night for Texas A&M football.

Highly-touted prospect Tate Martell, the third-ranked dual-threat quarterback in the 2017 class, announced on Wednesday that he was reopening his recruiting process, ending his longtime commitment to Texas A&M.

Minutes after Martell's announcement, Texas A&M receivers coach Aaron Moorehead tweeted about "loyalty and trust."

“I feel sorry for ppl who never understand loyalty. I can't really even vibe with u. At the end of the day trust is 100 & everything else is BS”  @Amo8685

Moments later, Moorehead tweeted he wasn’t referring to Martell (which would be a violation of NCAA recruiting rules):

“I wasn't even talking about who everyone thinks I'm talking about. I didn't even know #badtiming #relevanttho #stillnoloyalty”  @Amo8685

Later in the night, receiver Manny Netherly, the No. 181 overall player in the ESPN 300, announced he decommitted and referenced the tweet:

“After tonight I see what kind of person my ‘future coach’ is & I myself don’t wanna play for someone like that so without further ado I would like to announce I am decommitting from Texas A&M.”  @yovng_netherly

Several other recruits tweeted overnight that they were no longer considering A&M due to Moorehead’s tweets.
