HERO Sports is giving you a feel for all things FCS recruiting.
Sometimes, things don't quite workout. They don't go the way you planned. Whether it's a young man changing his mind, or a coaching change, or a better opportunity coming along. No matter what the reason, young recruits make changes during their recruitment. There's nothing wrong with it.
Below is a list of recruits who were either committed to FCS schools and left, or later changed their minds to come to FCS schools.[divider]
