Miami (Fla.) ASA College kicker Eddy Pineiro has decommitted from Alabama, according to his Twitter account.

"After careful consideration and discussing it with my family, I'm currently decommitting from Alabama," Pineiro's tweet read. "I will make my final decision about my college future in the next few days. This has been the most difficult decision of my life. I have not slept well in weeks. Coach Saban, Coach Cristobal, and the Alabama staff have been so good to me. But I feel like I rushed my decision instead of taking my time in the recruiting process. I want to be sure I am making the best decision for my future. Thank you for your understanding."

Florida has been shown increasing interest in Pineiro in recent months, and recently hosted the nation's No. 1 JUCO kicker for an official visit before Gators head coach Jim McElwain visited him in Miami the morning after the SEC Championship.

Pineiro had been committed to the Tide since receiving an offer last June during Alabama's summer kicking camp.

A source close to Pineiro told BamaOnline Monday morning that the Miami native would make his final decision between Alabama and Florida on Tuesday. The first day junior college mid-year transfers can sign is Wednesday.
