A highly sought-after class of 2017 prospect has reopened his recruitment.
Texas linebacker Anthony Hines III decommitted from Mississippi State on Friday night.
After speaking with my parents and coaches, I have decided to de-commit from Mississippi State and open up my recruitment.

Hines is considered a four-star recruit and the No. 11 prospect in Texas by 247Sports.
The 6-foot-2, 218-pound outside linebacker's decision comes just a day after 2015 commit Chason Virgil, also a Texas native, was informed by Mississippi State staff he no longer had a scholarship offer from the Bulldogs.
S/O: To my big bro! @ChasonVirgil5 #TheQuarterBack

Anthony Hines' father told @robbiefaulk247 that what happened to Chason Virgil had "something to do with it."
