Maryland prep recruit Kenedy Uzoma backed off his commitment to the Gophers football program on Monday.
The three-star prospect from Lanham, Md., said on X: “I would like to thank … Minnesota and its staff for the opportunity they have given me. With that being said, I would like to announce that I have 100% opened my recruiting back up!”
Recruiting services have Uzoma listed as a defensive lineman, but the 6-foot-5, 205-pound player called himself a “versatile” receiver in his social media post.
Minnesota now has three commitments for the 2026 class, including linemen Andrew Trout of Cold Spring and Howie Johnson of Forest Lake, along with quarterback Owen Lansu of Downers Grove, Ill.
