Florida State has landed a massive commitment as five-star quarterback Will Howard announced his decision to flip from Ohio State to the Seminoles. The highly sought-after prospect chose FSU over powerhouse programs Georgia and Alabama, solidifying the Seminoles’ quarterback room for the future.
Howard, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound signal-caller, originally committed to Ohio State earlier this year but had a change of heart after visiting Florida State. He cited the program’s trajectory under head coach Mike Norvell and the offensive scheme as key factors in his decision.
“I felt at home in Tallahassee,” Howard said in his commitment announcement. “The coaching staff believes in me, and I believe in them. I want to be a part of something special at FSU.”
Howard’s decision is a game-changer for the Seminoles, who continue to build one of the nation’s top recruiting classes. His arm strength, mobility, and football IQ make him an ideal fit for Norvell’s system, and his arrival could help propel FSU back into the national championship conversation.
Losing Howard is a tough blow for Ohio State, which had been grooming him as its next star quarterback. Meanwhile, Georgia and Alabama were both pushing hard for a late commitment but ultimately fell short.
FSU fans are already celebrating the addition of Howard, who is expected to be a future leader of the program. With his talent and confidence, the Seminoles are making a strong statement on the recruiting trail.
