UPDATE: Following Tate Martell's decision to decommit, Texas A&M WR coach Aaron Moorehead lashed out in a series of tweets, leading to a second decommit

It's been a quarterback recruiting carousel around the country this week, as the nation's top signal-callers continue to make headlines.

The week started with Tua Tagovailoa's commitment to Alabama and continued to unfold with Ryan Kelley's decommitment from the Oregon Ducks.

After re-opening his recruitment, Kelley contacted 247Sports composite five-star quarterback Tate Martell to let him know that he and 247Sports composite five-star wide receiver Tyjon Lindsey would make a great fit at Oregon.

The problem? Martell was committed to Texas A&M.

Perhaps Kelley's message got through to him, however, as the 5-foot-11, 203-pound signal-caller announced Wednesday evening that he had decided to re-open his recruitment.

"After talking with my family about what is best for my future, I have decided to reopen my recruiting process," Martell tweeted.

That announcement drew praise from Lindsey, who hinted via Twitter that he and his former Bishop Gorman High School (Las Vegas, Nevada) teammate could resume plans to become a package deal.

Lindsey has already included Oregon in his top 10, while Martell has openly pined for contact from the Ducks.

Plans to be a connected pair on the recruiting trail first began at the early stages of high school.

"Me and him will always figure something out. I know we'll always stay together," Lindsey told The Oregonian last spring. "We'll always talk about it and find the right school for the both of us, not just one of us."

At the time, the 5-foot-9, 180-pound wide receiver, who grew up idolizing De'Anthony Thomas, held strong interest in Oregon.

"I like them a lot. They've also been one my favorite colleges since I was little. I like how they use their players and how quick they are," Lindsey said. "I've talked to De'Anthony Thomas and he's told me that that's a great school. I told him that I'd like to talk to them a little more."

That sentiment was shared by Martell.

"I'd consider Oregon, for sure. They're a good school," Martell said last year. "The thing with Oregon is they wait to offer for awhile. They wait until junior year. That's what we know. They said they liked us. They came and saw us and said, 'As soon as you guys become juniors we'll offer you guys...' Stuff like that."

However, that offer came only for Lindsey, as Oregon instead focused their attention on Kelley.

But times have changed, and it appears the door is open if the Ducks choose to enter.

Of course, other programs will also happily join the fold.

Martell is rated as the No. 1 dual-threat quarterback nationally by 247Sports, while Lindsey is rated No. 4 wide receiver in the country.
