Miami (Fla.) Northwestern 2021 linebacker Terrence Lewis backed off his commitment to Florida on Saturday. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound prospect opted to attended the Miami Hurricanes scrimmage instead of Florida’s spring game. Lewis has been a frequent visitor to the hometown Miami Hurricanes campus this offseason.

The rising junior took to Twitter to announce the news.

"First, I'd like to thank my friends and family for supporting me on this decision, my coaches & teammates," Lewis wrote. "This was a hard decision but it's something I've thought over. I would like to thank the University of Florida for the opportunity and taking the chance on me, but as of right now I am de-committed from the University of Florida."

247Sports currently ranks Lewis as the nation’s No. 65 overall prospect and the No. 2 outside linebacker in the 2021 recruiting class.
