“After careful consideration with family and coaches, we believe it is best if I look elsewhere,” McGohan wrote on social media. “I will be de-committing from the University of Cincinnati.”
The 6-5, 220-pounder caught 52 passes for 941 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior.
He told rivals.com he will not reconsider UC, which hired former Louisville coach Scott Satterfield on Monday, but he might take a look at Fickell’s new home.
“When I heard he was leaving, it kinda hurt, but I always knew God has a plan, and that could very easily be where I go,” McGohan said.

He committed to UC in January but continued to receive scholarship offers, including from Oklahoma, Iowa and Miami (Fla.) in May.
Auburn and LSU offered last month according to 247Sports.com, and McGohan plans to visit LSU this weekend for an official visit.
Cincinnati has lost 10 verbal commits since Fickell’s departure, including Badin star Braedyn Moore.
McGohan is the No. 25 tight end prospect in the country per 247Sports Composite rankings and the 16th-rated prospect in Ohio.
A pair of his teammates are also three-star recruits in the class of 2023: Running back Christian Davis, who has committed to Ball State, and offensive lineman A.J. Salley, another former UC commit who is now committed to Campbell.
