Chris Wilson, a defensive back from Hitchcock, Texas, decommitted Friday from UCLA, less than three weeks after committing.

The manner in which he made his announcement rubbed some UCLA fans — and others — the wrong way.

Due to increased intrest after committing to UCLA, I will be decommitting and opening back up my recruiting to seek better options.

As noted by ESPN recruiting analyst Craig Haubert, Wilson could have handled the situation better.

Friendly teaching Pt FWIW-Not a good exit-Certainly free to decommit but go out on high road/no need to burn bridges https://t.co/aoADQysjnd

Wilson is ranked as a three-star prospect and also has reported offers from Iowa State and Stephen F. Austin, but as his tweet indicates, others have come calling recently.
