Sincere Edwards, 4-star defensive lineman, decommits from Central Florida, announces top 5

One of Central Florida's biggest recruiting prizes is back on the market.

On Wednesday, Wekiva (Florida) four-star defensive lineman Sincere Edwards announced his decommitment from UCF and announced a new top five:

The 6-foot-2, 240-pound defensive lineman included Central Florida, Maryland, Penn State, Pittsburgh and South Florida. 

"First off, I want to thank God for blessing me and my family and putting us in the position we are in now," he wrote. "Secondly, I want to thank coach Martin and Ingram and the rest of the staff for believing in me and allowing me to be (a part) of the family. I also want to thank Knight Nation for showing love and support. Lately I've been thinking about my recruitment process and I just want to capitalize on every opportunity. With that being said I am decommitting from UCF and dropping a top five. However this doesn't take away the love I have for UCF at all. I am an Orlando kid and it will be hard for any school to get me out of state. Thank you." 

The move is far from a surprise, as Edwards has visited other campuses in recent months, is scheduled to take an official visit to Pitt this weekend and picked up an intriguing offer from Penn State in late May.

Similarly, it's not shocking to see teams in pursuit of the talented Orlando defender. 

As a junior, the dominant defensive lineman racked up 78 tackles, 27 tackles-for-loss and 17 sacks.
