"After much time, consideration and thought I would like to announce my decommitment from the University of Michigan," he wrote. "Even though this was an incredibly tough and heartbreaking decision, my family and I feel it is best to reopen my recruitment. I'd like to thank all of the coaches including Coach Harbaugh for recruiting me and especially Coach Bam (Richards) for making me feel like family to the team. Michigan remains a top school on my list, and I wish them the best of luck throughout this football season. Finally, thanks to the fans for showing as much love as they did."

Lasater originally committed to the Wolverines on March 31st after Jim Harbaugh personally offered him a scholarship. He was slated to play fullback for the Wolverines with the opportunity to also play linebacker.

With his decommitment, Michigan is now down to 16 verbal commitments in the 2017 class.
