per ESPN:

The decommitment of one highly regarded quarterback prospect led to an eventful night -- and not in a good way -- for the Texas A&M Aggies.

ESPN 300 quarterback Tate Martell, the third-ranked dual-threat quarterback in the 2017 class, announced Wednesday that he was reopening his recruiting process, ending his longtime commitment to Texas A&M.

Martell, who plays at Las Vegas high school powerhouse Bishop Gorman, committed to the Aggies last August but gradually softened on Texas A&M in recent months, announcing last month that he was planning to take visits and was still listening to other schools. He made his decision public via Twitter on Wednesday:

Things got interesting when minutes after Martell's announcement, Texas A&M receivers coach Aaron Moorehead tweeted about "loyalty."

More tweets of a similar theme followed that one shortly thereafter, including one claiming that Moorehead "wasn't even talking about who everyone thinks I'm talking about." (NCAA rules dictate that college coaches cannot publicly mention a prospective student-athlete by name until he signs a letter of intent or financial aid agreement with the school.)

Go Gophers!!
 

"wasn't even talking about who everyone thinks I'm talking about."

Oh yeah sure....
 

Kinda ironic that a coach that hasn't been at the same school for more than three years in a row would speak about this.

And he like most coaches would bolt the second he got an offer for a better job / more $.... something the students can't do once they sign...
 

Loyalty? How can you be loyal to a team you haven't played for or a school you never attended.
