4-Star CB Jordan Parker Tweets Decommitment from UCLA

Jordan Parker turned heads with his play last week at The Opening, and now he's kept the spotlight on him by reopening his recruitment.

The 4-star cornerback prospect from Pittsburg, California, announced on Twitter Wednesday that he has decommitted from UCLA. Despite making his pledge to the Bruins less than three months ago, he wrote, "As of now I am still undecided."

Rated as the No. 149 overall player and No. 13 corner in the 2016 recruiting class, the 5'11", 180-pound Parker committed to UCLA on April 24 but now goes back on the market and figures to get plenty of interest.

He currently only has six scholarship offers—all from Pac-12 schools—but after being a standout in the receiver/defensive back drills at The Opening, he's likely to pick up a few more.

Luke Stampini of 247Sports praised Parker's performance at the prestigious skills event at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, even though his team lost all four of its seven-on-seven games. He wrote that Parker "provided tight coverage on the outside" and "was physical at the line of scrimmage and was bullying receivers on their release."

Parker hinted at uncertainty about his future while at The Opening, according to ESPN recruiting analyst Erik McKinney:

Of those schools that Parker mentioned to McKinney, only UCLA has offered him a scholarship at this point.

Parker had five interceptions last season as a junior at Pittsburg Senior High School, per MaxPreps. He also caught 23 passes for 264 yards and five touchdowns.

The loss of Parker drops UCLA five spots to 18th in 247Sports' recruiting rankings for 2016. The Bruins still have 12 commitments, including five 4-star prospects, but none of those pledges are for their secondary. It's not a position of particular need for the Bruins, though, as they signed four corners in the 2015 class, including 4-star DeChaun Holiday.

UCLA is set to start three upperclassmen at cornerback or nickelback this season in senior Fabian Moreau and juniors Ish Adams and Marcus Rios.
