In a stunning turn of events, a highly sought-after 5-foot-10, 175-pound catcher has decommitted from Georgia, opting instead to join the Florida State Seminoles. The decision comes as a significant recruiting victory for the Seminoles, who beat out powerhouse programs like LSU, Tennessee, and others for the prized prospect.
The player, whose name has become synonymous with versatility and leadership behind the plate, announced his decision late Thursday night. Known for his elite defensive skills, a quick pop time, and a strong, accurate arm, the catcher has drawn comparisons to some of the best in the college game. Scouts have also praised his offensive abilities, particularly his knack for hitting in clutch situations and his consistent production at the plate.
“I want to thank Georgia and all the other programs that believed in me, but after careful consideration, I’ve decided that Florida State is where I belong,” he said in his statement. “The culture, the coaching staff, and the opportunity to grow both as a player and a person made this decision clear for me. Go Noles!”
Florida State head coach Link Jarrett has been aggressive in his efforts to secure top talent, and this commitment reflects his determination to return the Seminoles to their powerhouse status in college baseball. The addition of such a promising young catcher bolsters the team’s future, ensuring they remain competitive in a stacked ACC.
The move also highlights the growing appeal of Florida State’s program, which has consistently developed MLB talent. For the Seminoles, this commitment is more than just a recruiting win—it’s a statement that the program is primed for success in the years ahead.
The catcher is expected to make an immediate impact when he arrives in Tallahassee, energizing the fan base and adding to the program’s legacy.
