Shyheim Carter has backed off his commitment to Alabama and re-opened his recruitment.

Carter is a four-star cornerback out of Kentwood (La.) and he committed to Alabama last summer, just over a year ago, and on Monday he decommitted from the Crimson Tide.

Where does he go from here?

At this time, it does not look like in-state LSU is in play, but we will continue to monitor this to see if this changes things. You can never count out the home team.

Is there a frontrunner today?

If there is a leader, it may be Ole Miss. The 5-foot-11, 183 pound corner was in Oxford (Miss.) this past weekend on an unofficial visit. The Rebels are in on numerous Louisiana elite prospects with a commitment from Shea Patterson, who recently transferred to Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy from Shreveport (La.) Calvary Baptist already committed. Carter has had his eye on the Rebels for some time.

Carter has stated a few times that he really wants to leave the state and another school high on his list could be Georgia, a school he has camped at the last two summers. He and UGA defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt have a connection.

Some other schools in the race now could be , Miami, Michigan, and Oregon. He plans to take all five official visits, so a final decision may not be in the near future, but this is something we will continue to track.

Scout has also confirmed that Alabama is not completely out of this race, so keep an eye on the Crimson Tide.

Stay tuned to Scout for more on this news as it is very fluid.
