Tylin Oden
Spring Hill senior quarterback Tylin Oden is once again no longer on the class of 2016 recruiting market.
Oden, who committed to Louisville last spring before withdrawing his pledge with the Cardinals earlier this month, has announced his plans to play football at Rutgers next fall.
“I would like to thank my family, friends, teammates, coaches, Spring Hill High School, and the Spring Hill community for riding with me on this long and wild journey,” Oden posted to his Twitter account on Tuesday night. “I’m excited and honored to announce that I have officially committed to Rutgers University.”
Oden amassed 2,339 yards from scrimmage and 25 total touchdowns a season ago, and the 6-foot-5, 180-pound dual-threat quarterback concluded his career with more than 4,000 yards from scrimmage and 43 total touchdowns.
Oden’s recent change of heart marks the second Midstate player to change his commitment in the days leading up to signing day Feb. 3.
On Sunday, Brentwood Academy defensive lineman Brandon Adams flipped his commitment from Vanderbilt to Georgia Tech.
Adams, a 6-foot-1, 322-pound three-star prospect and an All-Midstate first-team selection, registered 82 tackles, four sacks and a forced fumble in 2015, helping lead the Eagles to a 12-1 record and a Division II-AA state championship.
