In a dramatic twist in the college football recruiting landscape, star twin athletes Armon and Jayvon have decommitted from Ohio State and announced their decision to sign with Florida State. The surprise move came late Friday night during a live-streamed event, leaving fans and analysts scrambling to reassess the balance of power in the 2024 recruiting class.
“We’ve always followed our hearts, and Florida State just feels like the right fit for us,” said Jayvon, a highly ranked wide receiver known for his explosive speed and game-changing plays.
Armon, an elite cornerback prospect, echoed his brother’s sentiment, saying, “The culture, the coaching staff, and the vision for the program stood out to us. We’re excited to be part of something special in Tallahassee.”
The decision marks a significant win for Florida State, which had been aggressively pursuing the twins despite their earlier commitment to Ohio State. Seminoles head coach Mike Norvell praised the pair, calling them “game-changers” who will play pivotal roles in the program’s resurgence.
Armon and Jayvon had also strongly considered Penn State and Nebraska, both of which were in contention until the final stages. However, their ultimate choice to join the Seminoles reinforces Florida State’s status as a rising powerhouse in college football.
The loss is a tough blow for Ohio State, which had hoped to retain the twins in their already highly ranked recruiting class. Analysts speculate that Florida State’s strong developmental track record and the opportunity for immediate playing time may have tipped the scales.
With this decision, Florida State secures two of the most sought-after recruits in the nation, and fans are eager to see the impact Armon and Jayvon will have on the Seminoles’ future. The twins are expected to make an immediate splash in the ACC as they aim to elevate Florida State back to national prominence.
