Mandarin wide receiver Jaime Ffrench Jr. is calling an audible on his college football plans.
The five-star junior de-committed from Alabama football on Sunday night, the latest recruiting shakeup following Wednesday’s retirement of Alabama coach Nick Saban. Ffrench originally committed to the Crimson Tide on July 22.
The news was first reported by On3 Sports.
The 6-1, 185-pound Ffrench, rated as a five-star prospect in both the 247Sports composite and the On3 industry rankings, stands in the top five of national receiver recruits for all major recruiting services.
An All-First Coast first-team wide receiver, he helped Mandarin reach the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 4M final in December for only the second time in the school’s 34-year history. Ffrench scored two Mandarin touchdowns and gained 100 yards receiving in that state final against Miami Columbus, including a second-half score that displayed his agility in the open field.
He caught 62 passes for 1,247 yards and 14 touchdowns this season, and has already surpassed 2,000 yards through three seasons in Jacksonville high school football.
Ffrench becomes the second major receiver de-commitment for the Tide since Saban’s announcement, after Ryan Williams of Saraland (Ala.) backed away from his Alabama commitment this week.
