3-star outside linebacker Kelly decommits from Syracuse, verbally commits to Penn State

Three-star outside linebacker Daiquan Kelly decommitted from Syracuse and verbally pledged to Penn State, he announced on Twitter Sunday afternoon.

The Union City (New Jersey) High School prospect is the third member to back out of a commitment to SU, joining four-star cornerback Davante Davis and three-star outside linebacker Doyle Grimes.

Kelly is also the second linebacker in the past year to retract his Syracuse commitment and join the Nittany Lions, after linebacker Jason Cabinda did so on Oct. 23, 2013.

His decision leaves the Orange with two outside linebackers — Troy Henderson and Shyheim Cullen — after starting with four. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound Kelly had committed to Syracuse on June 29, and his decommittment leaves SU with 22 members in its Class of 2015.
