Kesean Bowman, a five-star 2027 receiver from Brentwood Academy, has decommitted from Oregon football, Bowman's mom, Moe, confirmed to The Tennessean.

Bowman, who is being pursued by Tennessee football coach Josh Heupel, had been committed to the Ducks since July. 

Bowman, a 6-foot, 174-pound junior, was teammates at Brentwood Academy last season with former four-star quarterback and Tennessee freshman George MacIntyre. Bowman visited Knoxville for the Georgia game on Sept. 13 and told The Tennessean this week that he was planning other visits to Texas, LSU, Miami and Vanderbilt this fall.

Bowman initially picked the Ducks over Tennessee, Ohio State and LSU.

He is the No. 2 player in Tennessee from the 2027 class, No. 6 receiver nationally

I have to admit this is news to me......his former commitment, I mean.

Next man up.

2027, and receiver?

No problem...

Any commitment from a player that has never even visited the campus is about as firm as a bowl full of Jell-O.

Like @idontrollonshobbas said, I don't even recall hearing about him committing to the Ducks. That said, I do miss a few things here and there.

Likewise, I think I share the same sentiment as many. He was a 2027 commit anyway ... and a WR.

SWSWSW

His decommitting could be to facilitate a search for a larger bag, staying closer to home, still really fickle and no real buy in on the Ducks, or it could also be he is thinking he might have to compete a lot harder in Eugene for a WR1 or WR2 spot.

Not saying that this his thought process, but if the shoe fits ... it reminds me of an old Ziglar quote, "if you think you are indispensable, put your finger in a bowl of water and then pull it out and see how long the hole lasts."

Slippery slope.

I mean for anyone who is still into tracking high school kids two years from setting foot on campus, who am I to spoil your fun? I used to do the same thing.

That being said, this is exactly why I don’t allow very much of my attention to be held by some random 16 year old.

Executive summary for me 😆
