Mission Viejo safety/wide receiver Max Redfield, the No. 1 recruit in Orange County, has de-committed from USC, according to ESPN.

Redfield recently took a visit to Notre Dame and according to ESPN Recruiting Nation, will visit Washington this coming weekend.

Here’s what ESPN reported that Redfield said of his decision via his Facebook page:

“Going back on my word is something I never imagined doing and it hurts me to do it but in the end I feel is necessary to do in order to decide what college I want to go to and in the end what path I want to take in life. For many different reasons I am choosing to decommit from USC and re-open recruiting. I am sorry to the people I might let down or hurt in this decision but it is a decision that is crucial for my future athletically, academically, and spiritually.”
