FSU Football Recruiting Sees Unexpected Flips
The Seminoles have lost three commitments in three days, with two recruits flipping to other programs, shaking the momentum on the recruiting trail.
Recent Commitments and Setbacks
After a commanding 42-7 win over Wake Forest, Florida State announced three new commitments for the #Tribe26 class: three-star defensive end Chris Carbin, linebacker Daylen Green, and defensive lineman Franklin Whitley. It appeared head coach Mike Norvell was gaining traction.
Recruiting Surprises Unfold
Despite the positive signs, recruiting often brings unexpected changes. In just three days, Florida State lost three pledges, including two who flipped to other teams.
Jay Timmons Flips to Ohio State
On Thursday, four-star defensive back Jay Timmons declared his flip from Florida State to Ohio State, following an official visit to Columbus last week.
The Seminole legacy originally pledged to FSU in June, flipping from Indiana.
Timmons had long awaited an offer from Florida State, attending multiple camps in Tallahassee, but ultimately found the opportunity with the Buckeyes too attractive to decline.
Impact of the Loss
This flip is a significant setback for Florida State, as Timmons is a talented recruit and losing a legacy commitment in this way reflects poorly on the program. He is also the latest recruit to switch from FSU ahead of the Early Signing Period.
This is a tough loss for Florida State. Timmons is a talented recruit, and optically, it doesn't look good to lose a legacy in this fashion.
