No. 1 JUCO wide receiver Keon Hutchins decommits from West Virginia

Less than a month after committing to West Virginia, Northwest Mississippi C.C. three-star wide receiver Keon Hutchins has backed off his pledge to the Mountaineers.

Hutchins announced his decision on Sunday night after giving his verbal to Rich Rodriguez and Co. on November 4. Following that commitment, multiple other schools extended offers to Hutchins, including Illinois, Missouri, and Kansas State.

He told MizzouToday’s Kenny Van Doren that he planned to take official visits to WVU, Illinois and Kansas State this month before enrolling in January at the school of his choice.

“I’m really just seeing where everybody, is” said Hutchins. “I’m just making sure I take the right visit on my last one.”

As a sophomore this fall at NMCC, Hutchins has hauled in 34 passes for 635 yards (18.7 YPC) and six touchdowns. He has reportedly been clocking in the 4.2-4.3 second range in the 40-yard dash as well.

As a high schooler, Hutchins prepped at Union (Miss.), where he was one of the best big-play threats in the ‘Sip. During his senior season, the 6-foot-2, 180-pounder caught 44 passes for 1,030 yards (23.4 YPC) and 11 touchdowns.

He ranks as the nation’s No. 10 junior college prospect and No. 1 WR, according to the Rivals Industry Ranking, an equally weighted average that utilizes all three major recruiting services.
