According to a report on Monday by Adam Friedman at Rivals.com, star North Penn wide receiver Yazeed Haynes has decommitted from Penn State University.
Sports Illustrated is reporting that Haynes, who visited Georgia after committing to Penn State last month, has been a top target of the University of Georgia Bulldogs, coming off their National Championship victory over the University of Alabama in January.
Sources told Sports Illustrated that Haynes will visit Georgia this weekend, according to the report.
The No. 4 prospect in the state and 33rd-ranked high school wide receiver in the nation, the 6-foot-1 Haynes – who goes by "Zeed” over Yazeed on social media – was the 13th verbal commitment to Penn State’s 2023 recruiting class, according to TribLIVE.
Haynes pledged to Rutgers first on March 23, but decommitted in May, per Rivals.
Haynes committed to PSU on June 12, following a Friday visit
to the campus and a June 4 scholarship offer, per the report. The day before
the scholarship offer, Haynes had a "standout performance” at the Penn State
prospect camp, showing off his speed and connecting on passes from PSU
quarterback Marcus Stokes, another Class of 2023 commit, during 1-on-1 and
7-on-7 periods.
While Haynes was making plays on the gridiron, in his academic life, he was
catching offer after offer from various colleges, including Boston College,
Bowling Green, Rutgers, and West Virginia.
Haynes transferred from Philadelphia Neumann Goretti to North Penn High School
in his senior year.
"Haynes is raw but he has athleticism and shows speed. He shows an ability
to separate, and he can be a threat down the field. Adding strength throughout
his frame and becoming a more reliable pass catcher will allow Haynes to
elevate his game. There is a lot with which to work,” wrote Lions 247Sports National Recruiting
Analyst Brian Dohn.
