Breaking News: Cornerback Jaydin Broadnax Decommits from West Boca Raton, Chooses Florida State Over Tennessee and Michigan
In a major recruiting victory for the Florida State Seminoles, standout 2026 cornerback Jaydin Broadnax has decommitted from West Boca Raton High School and announced his commitment to Florida State. Broadnax, a dynamic defensive playmaker, chose the Seminoles over Tennessee and Michigan, citing Florida State’s defensive schemes and program resurgence as key factors in his decision.
Broadnax, standing 6’0″ and weighing 185 pounds, is widely regarded as one of the nation’s top cornerback prospects. Known for his elite coverage skills, physical play, and ability to shut down opposing receivers, he is a difference-maker on the field and has drawn comparisons to NFL stars like Jalen Ramsey.
“Florida State is where I want to be,” Broadnax said during his announcement. “The coaching staff’s vision for me, the energy in Tallahassee, and the opportunity to play for a program on the rise made this the right choice. I’m ready to bring championships back to Florida State.”
Previously committed to West Boca Raton, Broadnax’s flip to Florida State is a significant boost to the Seminoles’ already strong 2026 recruiting class. Head coach Mike Norvell and defensive backs coach Patrick Surtain Sr. played pivotal roles in securing Broadnax’s commitment, emphasizing his potential as a cornerstone for their defense.
The decision is a blow to Tennessee and Michigan, both of which had been vying for Broadnax’s talents. For Florida State, his commitment signals their continued ascent in college football, reinforcing the program’s ability to attract elite talent in its pursuit of national championships.
Broadnax is expected to make an immediate impact in the Seminoles’ secondary, further solidifying their defense as one of the most promising in the nation. Stay tuned for more updates as Florida State continues to thrive on the recruiting trail and build toward a bright future.
