Jeremy Carter-Sheppard has announced on Twitter that he is de-committing from the University of Central Florida and will re-open his recruitment.

The John Marshall High School senior basketball standout signed with UCF coach Donnie Jones last November.

On March 23, former Duke University All-American Johnny Dawkins was named the new basketball coach at UCF, replacing Coach Donnie Jones, who was fired.

Coach Dawkins then brought in a new crew of assistant coaches.

There is no indication yet which college Carter-Sheppard now will chose. Prior to signing with UCF, Carter-Sheppard also visited Old Dominion University, University of North Carolina-Wilmington and Missouri State University.

The 6-foot Carter-Sheppard scored a total of 1,488 points in four seasons at John Marshall High, while connecting on 260 3-point shots under Justices Coach Ty White.

His best season was as a sophomore, when he averaged 19.6 points, hit 103 3-pointers and was named the state’s Division 3A Player of the Year after pacing John Marshall to the state title.

This past winter, Carter-Sheppard was switched from a shooting guard to a point guard. He averaged 17.2 points, with 61 3-pointers and 3.5 assists per game.

The Justices advanced to the State 3A semifinals before being eliminated at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Siegel Center by eventual champion I.C. Norcom High School of Portsmouth.

John Marshall High was an overall 90-23 during Carter-Sheppard’s four seasons. Carter-Sheppard also played for the Team Loaded travel squad.
