4-star WR Ashton Cozart reevaluating recruitment due to coaching changes

Flower Mound (Texas) Marcus four-star wide receiver Ashton Cozart tweeted Monday that he had some big news coming around the corner.

Six days later, Cozart decided to slow up and take some more time to think about his recruitment.

Cozart tweeted that because of the crazy coaching carousel this cycle, he will be announcing any commitment Sunday.

“Since dropping my Top 6, today makes the 4th school that’s going through major staffing changes. I need more time for things to settle and will not be making an announcement on any commitment today,” Cozart tweeted.

Cozart announced a top six last month of Alabama, Miami, Oklahoma, TCU, Texas and Texas A&M.

The tweet came out about an hour after the news that Lincoln Riley was leaving the Sooners to take the job at USC. That would leave Oklahoma as the second team in his top six to have a new head coach next season along with TCU.

The Horned Frogs are reportedly hiring SMU head coach Sonny Dykes.

He is the No. 119 overall player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. In the On300, Cozart is the No. 64 overall player and eighth-best wideout in the country.
