On Saturday, Miami Central (Fla.) safety Alfonzo Allen announced via his twitter page his decision to decommit from Arizona State. 

Allen, who committed to the Sun Devils in March, is now back on the open market as a very hot commodity. Allen has nearly 50 offers from the likes of Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma and more. 

As for Arizona State, this brings their 2022 class to just five commits: Carter Brown, Tristan Dunn, Larry Turner-Gooden, Syncere Massey and Tevin White. 

Allen becomes the second recruit for ASU to decommit over the summer, as Jaylin Marshall opened his recruitment back up in late July. After his commitment to ASU, Allen took an official visit to Indiana in late June. 

Prior to committing to Arizona State, Allen's top-12 schools included the following: USC, UCF, USF, UAB, South Carolina, Florida State, Texas A&M, Clemson, LSU, Alabama, Miami and of course, Arizona State.

Allen is a 6-foot, 205-pound safety who closely ranks as a composite top-20 player at his position. 

With two other safeties in Allen's class (Dunn and Turner-Gooden), perhaps Allen felt as if his talents would be utilized better elsewhere. Allen has yet to respond to AllSunDevils' request to speak. 

Although decommitments are not rare, ASU's 2022 class continues to shrink in both quality and quantity. The Sun Devils look to hit the recruiting trail hard during the season, hosting official visits on prominent weekends such as when USC comes to town.
