This is not the news Irish fans want to see when it comes to Ohio wide receiver commit Lorenzo Styles Jr. After Deion Colzie decommitted from the program about two weeks ago, the 2021 recruiting class had just one player remaining at the position, Styles Jr.
This morning Rivals put Styles Jr. on flip watch, as we have already documented that the Michigan staff has reached out and face-timed with him. This clearly is concerning to the coaching staff; however, they are currently recruiting Styles Jr. as if he was an uncommitted prospect. That is exactly what they need to be doing as it seems like Michigan State along with Florida, Kentucky and potentially others school vying for his signature during one of the signing periods.
Although Styles Jr. is speaking with Rivals Michigan insider EJ Holland isn’t sure the staff will get him to flip, but “Styles is keeping the door open as evidenced by his conversations with not only Michigan but several schools like Florida, Kentucky and Michigan State.”
Mike Singer, Notre Dame’s Rivals insider, believes “there should be a level of concern here, but at the end of the day, I think Styles will stick with his Notre Dame pledge.” Everyone in Blue and Gold nation is hoping Singer is correct, as losing another wide receiver, especially to either of the mitten state schools, would surely sting.
