Arik Armstead, a 6-foot-7, 280-pound offensive tackle from Elk Grove, Calif., has rescinded his official commitment to USC.

Armstead, one of the nation's premier lineman and the top-ranked player in the West in the ESPNU 150, said he'll still consider the Trojans but is now wide open to other colleges.

"I was already taking visits but I wanted all the schools recruiting me to understand that I had a legitimate interest in them," Armstead said.
