Baylor running back signee Kameron Martin, one of the leaders of the Bears' 2016 recruiting class, does not plan to enroll at the school next week and has requested a release from his letter of intent, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com.
Martin had been committed to Baylor since July 2014 and signed in February, but the school's decision on Thursday to fire coach Art Briles motivated the four-star recruit to consider his other options.
Baylor has made no announcement regarding who will replace Briles as the interim head coach. Defensive coordinator Phil Bennett has been offered that role and is expected to accept, sources told ESPN's Jeannine Edwards.
