Four-star OL Sean Foster decommits from Minnesota

Four-star offensive lineman Sean Foster has decommitted from Minnesota, he announced on Twitter on Tuesday.

Foster is the fourth player Minnesota has lost from its 2016 recruiting class in the past month.

“After speaking to the coaching staff at the University of Minnesota, it is in my best interest to decommit immediately and explore my options,” wrote Foster, who originally chose Minnesota over Nebraska, Virginia Tech and Kentucky. “I greatly appreciate all that the Mn staff has done for me. I am saddened by the recent departures of some amazing coaches and look forward to becoming part of a great university.”
