Dayton Carroll's Tyler Seymour became the first commitment in Wright State's class of 2014, but with Rob Cooper moving on to Penn State, the left-handed hitting first baseman and pitcher has reopened his recruitment.

"Last November, I verbally committed to Coach Rob Cooper and Wright State University as a first baseman," he explained.

Seymour continued, "As you may know, Coach Rob Cooper has accepted the position of head baseball Coach at Penn State University. Due to these recent changes, my commitment to WSU is no longer accepted."

Now, Seymour is waist-deep in the recruiting process again with visits and camp appearances.

The 6-foot-2, 160-pound prospect has been in contact with Ashland University, Indiana University, Tiffin University, Marietta, Moorehead State, Bellarmine, Youngstown State, Eastern Kentucky, and Ohio Dominican.

He noted, "Each school has a strong baseball program and the academics I am looking for which is a degree in business."   

Below, he breaks down his status with each school.

Ashland - "Coach Schaly, staff and I have talked regulary and I am planning a campus visit on September 25th."

Indiana University - "Coach Smith, staff and I have communicated and are planning a campus visit in September."

Tiffin University - "Coach Richardson and I have talked and I am planning a  campus visit September 20th."

Marietta - "Coach Rosen and I have talked and I am planning a campus visit in October."

Moorehead State - "Coach Stanek and I have communicated and I am planning to attend their November 2nd camp."

Bellarmine - "Coach Davis and I have communicated and I am planning a campus visit in October."

Eastern Kentucky -  "Coach Stein, staff and I have been communicating and considering the October 27th camp."

Ohio Dominican - "Have been reaching out to Coach Page but no responses as of yet."

Youngstown State - "Coach Gillespie has expressed interest and working to setup a campus visit."  

Later this month, Seymour will participate in the Unsigned Senior Games at Wright State.

He currently carries a 4.1 GPA on a 4.0 scale.
