From NBC Sports: His name is Yuri Wright, and he’s a four-star defensive back prospect from high school football powerhouse Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey, N.J. Wright, reportedly being pursued by several big-name universities, among them Notre Dame, Rutgers and Michigan, was expelled from Don Bosco over several x-rated comments he made on his Twitter account.
According to several sources, Michigan has decided not to recruit him because of the expulsion. This could be the first example of a prep player losing a big football scholarship over a social media mistake.
