DeCarlos Nicholson, top-ranked JUCO cornerback, decommits from Mississippi State

There’s a new name on the market that Kentucky fans need to learn: DeCarlos Nicholson

Nicholson, a three-star cornerback ranked by 247 Sports as the sixth-best junior college prospect from the class of 2022, announced his decommitment from Mississippi State on Saturday morning. And why is this important to readers of a Kentucky fansite? Because Nicholson received a verbal offer from the Kentucky coaching staff on July 10 and a written offer on August 1.

The Wildcats’ new defensive back coach, Chris Collins, has been leading the recruitment.

But there’s more to it than just a scholarship offer.
