Article states he received it...
"Gi'Bran Payne of La Salle High School has opened up his recruitment after asking for and receiving his release from his national letter of intent to play football for the Indiana Hoosiers."

Which surprised me with this reasoning...
"I just want to explore options more," Payne said Tuesday morning. "Relationships weren't the same and kind of faded. There wasn't much communication there and it didn't feel as good anymore."

Notre Dame hiring Deland McCullough as RB coach away from Indiana might be a factor. BTW, ND also has LaSalle grad and ex-UC RB commit Jeremy Larkin working there as a defensive analyst.
