Four-star wide receiver Adrian Wilson announced Wednesday he was reopening his recruitment after verbally committing to the Arizona State Sun Devils in April.

Coincidentally or not, ASU football head coach Kenny Dillingham posted “Great day to be a Sun Devil” minutes before Wilson made his announcement on X.

“I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the opportunity to be part of your program,” Wilson wrote. “After careful consideration and reflection, I have decided to decommit from Arizona State University. Re-opening my recruitment was not an easy decision, as I hold a great deal of respect for the coaching staff and the vision you have for the program.

“I believe this choice is necessary for my personal and athletic growth, and I wish nothing but the best for the team and the future of ASU. I will always cherish the connections I’ve made and the experiences I’ve had during this process. Thank you for understanding.”

The 6-foot, 170-pound wideout is rated as the 40th-best wide receiver and the 276th-best player in the 2025 recruiting class by 247 Sports’ composite ranking.

He was the second highest-ranked commitment to the Sun Devils’ 2025 class, behind quarterback Cameron Dyer, the 137th-rated prospect in the country. Dyer, however, was recruited to play receiver by Arizona State.

Three-star prospects Cory Butler out of Centennial High School in Corona, Calif., and Uriah Neloms from San Tan Charter in Gilbert, Ariz., make up the other two wideouts currently committed to ASU in the 2025 recruiting class.

Wilson had verbally pledged to Oregon and TCU before agreeing to join Arizona State.
