Four-star cornerback Ugo Amadi has decomitted to Ole Miss, according to 247Sports.com. The Nashville native has shown interest in Tennessee after taking an official visit in November.
“Coach Butch Jones told me that he needs a nickel back because (Justin) Coleman will be graduating so he wants me to come in early,” Amadi told 247. “And just because I’m graduating early that can be a good thing for me so that I can learn the playbook and be ahead in class. As well and he wants me to be the punt returner because he knows Cam Sutton is always gassed whenever he’s back there so he is always fair catching it so I can come in and make a big impact on that.”
Amadi also plans to make an official visit to LSU after the dead period but before the start of college classes. The Overton standout plans to be an early enrollee at whichever college he chooses in January.
“Coach Les Miles came to my school and he told me he took his first flight here to Tennessee,” Amadi said. “He told me that he wanted me to do special teams more importantly and then I’m going to work my way into cornerback.”
Despite reopening his recruiting process, Amadi is still considering Ole Miss as a potential destination. The cornerback was impressed by the Rebels defense in 2014.
“They just want me in with the rest of the 2015 commits,” Amadi said. “They’ve got a strong team right now so whatever they do, I can compete for it.”
