Alexander backs out of commitment
Recruit plans to visit more schools
By Cory Giger, cgiger@altoonamirror.com

A.J. Alexander has had a change of heart, putting himself back in the middle of the recruiting game.

The Altoona Area High School standout has backed out of his verbal commitment to Florida State, citing a desire to test the waters a little more before making his college choice.

‘‘There are some schools I like I hadn’t seen yet when I decided,’’ Alexander, who committed to FSU in May, told the Mirror late Thursday night.

Alexander is considered the most heavily recruited player in Altoona history, fielding offers from dozens of major programs around the country. The Seminoles remain in the hunt for his services, but now four other schools are back in the mix, including Penn State.
