A junior college player has decommitted from the Gophers.
Juwan Mitchell, a three-star inside linebacker who initially announced his commitment at the end of March, tweeted Monday his decision to head to Texas instead. The New Jersey native out of Butler Community College in Kansas was a 2020 recruit for the Gophers but will be in Texas' 2019 class.

Can’t express how great my time was at UConn and so proud to say I’m an alumni of such an amazing place. Thank you UConn Nation for making these 4 years unbelievable! But it’s time to gear up for a new journey in Minnesota! Aug 29 is coming 〽️#RTB pic.twitter.com/crZLHQaEOq
