Nelson Mbanasor Backs Away from Oklahoma State Pledge

Pflugerville, Texas defensive end standout Nelson Mbanasor, who announced his commitment to Oklahoma State in May, has backed away from his commitment in a tweet from Sunday evening:

Mbanasor’s decision is hardly a surprise for OSU, who have been likely expecting this for a time, after he said that “SEC is the big dog league” and trying to fend off a continued push from Arkansas.

Mbanasor made an official visit to Arkansas this past weekend, and was hosted by freshman defensive lineman Jonathan Marshall (who committed to OSU but flipped to Arkansas a day before signing day!).  The visit, according to Richard Davenport, just “made him want to come here [to Arkansas.].

While it’s no surprise about the decommitment, it seems all but imminent that another OSU recruit will be headed to the Hogs.
