“After much consideration and discussion with my family, I have decided to decommit from North Carolina and reopen my recruitment process,” McCutchan wrote in a social media post.

McCutchan, a 6-foot-4, 220-pound tight end, is the No. 49 player in Ohio in his class and the No. 70 tight end in the country, according to 247Sports. He also fields offers from schools such as Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M.

The senior has helped Moeller to a 7-3 record and a first-round bye in the Ohio High School Athletic Association postseason. Playing in just seven games, McCutchan caught 25 passes for 269 yards and six touchdowns.

North Carolina is 3-5 overall this season and is 1-3 in Atlantic Coast Conference play.
