Virginia Tech commit Cam'Ron Kelly

Chesapeake (VA) Oscar Smith four-star cornerback Cam'Ron Kelly committed to Virginia Tech over Penn State, Clemson, Virginia, and others in June.

Six weeks later, Kelly is back on the market after backing out of his pledge to the Hokies on Saturday night.

He committed to the Hokies on June 7.

“This is my first time very going through the recruiting process and it’s very hard to say the least and this was a very hard decision to make but after long talks with my family and my coaches and a lot of prayers at night I will be de-committing from Virginia Tech. I just feel like I rushed into things and I’m not ready to commit yet with that being said I will be re-opening my recruiting process and will be looking for my new home for the next 3-4 years.. And I will be taking my time these next few months to actually make sure I’m making the right decision for myself, my family and my future. Please respect my decision! Thank you Hokie Nation for everything and to all the Virginia Tech coaches,” he announced on Twitter Saturday night.

Kelly was the highest-rated commitment for the Hokies in the 2019 recruiting cycle.

The 6-foot 1-inch, 190-pounder holds 41 verbal scholarship offers.

According to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite rankings, Kelly is listed as the No. 174 overall prospect in the nation and the No. 12 athlete prospect in the nation. He is the No. 4 overall recruit in Virginia.

With Kelly’s decommitment, Virginia Tech holds 13 verbal commitments and is led by Georgetown (KY) Scott County four-star offensive lineman Bryan Hudson.
