CB Sheldrick Redwine 'decommits' from U of L

Three-star Miami cornerback Sheldrick Redwine withdrew his commitment to Louisville on Tuesday night. He completed an official visit to U of L two days ago as the Cardinals had sought to firm up what has been a shaky commitment from the start.

On the day Redwine committed three weeks ago, he said he would keep the recruiting process open and still visit the University of Texas, which he's scheduled to see this weekend.

Since he made the U of L pledge, Auburn has emerged as a top contender, and Redwine visited there two weekends ago. Auburn already flipped a cornerback pledge from the University of Kentucky this week in Jeremiah Dinson of Hialeah, Fla.

Without Redwine, the Cardinals now have 23 commitments in the 2015 class. If U of L is to sign a new cornerback, a candidate would be Jacksonville speedster Javarius Davis, who officially visited over the weekend. However, Davis, too, has been strongly considering Auburn, and the Tigers may win out again.

U of L hosted Orlando cornerback Jalen Julius on a visit in early December and looked well-positioned with him initially, but Ole Miss is now a strong contender.

The Cards have also shown some interest in junior-college All-America cornerback Treston Decoud, but he said Tuesday night that he hasn't received an offer from U of L and has no current plans to visit.

Redwine is a former teammate at Killian High School of U of L cornerback Trumaine Washington.
