Press Release: Early Signing Day Sees Major Recruit Flips Amid College Football Climate
As the college football season races towards conference championships and playoff spots, the focus has already shifted to next year’s recruitment on Early Signing Day. On Wednesday, notable developments unfolded, with significant recruitment news altering the landscape of college football.
Georgia’s top recruiting class took a hit when four-star running back Ousmane Kromah announced his decommitment from the Bulldogs in favor of Florida State, as reported by Pete Nakos of On3 Sports. This surprising move caught many off guard, especially considering Georgia’s impressive 10-2 record and upcoming SEC Championship battle against Texas. In stark contrast, Florida State has struggled this season, finishing with a disappointing 2-10 record, failing to meet preseason expectations as a top-10 team.
Despite the challenges, Florida State had a fruitful day, also securing a commitment from four-star wide receiver Jayvan Boggs, who transferred from UCF. Boggs’s decision was influenced by the move of former UCF head coach Gus Malzahn to Florida State, where he now serves as the offensive coordinator under Mike Norvell. Malzahn’s past success at Auburn enhances Florida State’s recruiting potential as the Seminoles aim to rejuvenate their roster through high school recruits and the transfer portal.
Additionally, Florida State bolstered its staff by hiring former Nebraska defensive coordinator Tony White, marking a strategic move to attract top talent. With Malzahn and White onboard, the Seminoles’ urgency to restore their competitive edge is clear, setting the stage for a renewed effort in the recruiting realm.
As the recruiting race heats up, Florida State appears determined to reclaim its status, while established programs like Georgia must navigate the evolving dynamics of college football recruitment.
