4-star defensive end Oluwole Betiku decommits from UCLA

UCLA has lost one of its top 2016 recruits.

Defensive end Oluwole Betiku tweeted Thursday morning that he will reopen his recruitment after initially committing to UCLA.

The four-star prospect was UCLA's highest ranked recruit and the fifth-best player at his position, according to ESPN.

Betiku was highly sought after before his commitment and may now reconsider offers from powerhouses like Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, and Texas A&M, among other programs.
