Utah prep receiver Kai Meza backed out of his commitment to the Gophers football program on Sunday.
The 6-foot, 185-pound, three-star prospect from Corner Canyon High School has drawn increased interest in recent weeks, with Utah, Colorado, Kansas State and Kansas among the colleges known to have come calling.
“After much thought and reflection, I’ve made the difficult decision to de-commit from the University of Minnesota,” Meza posted on X. “I’m incredibly grateful for the support and opportunity from the coaching staff and Gopher community. At this time, I’ve chosen to reopen my recruitment to explore all options for my future.”
As a junior, Meza posted 46 receptions for 944 yards and 13 touchdowns, and as a sophomore, he had 57 receptions for 1,131 yards and 10 touchdowns at Herriman Mountain Ridge.
The Gophers have 22 total commitments, while Meza is the second de-commitment. He joined Norman, Okla., offensive Daniel McMorris, who backed out on Sept. 1.
