Defensive Back Turbulence Hits FSU

Florida State’s defensive back recruiting is in freefall as three top commits—Mekhi Williams, Bryce Williams, and DaYon Cooper—have all decommitted, with Cooper flipping to Tennessee. The latest blow? Four-star cornerback Kamil Loud, ranked 31st overall and 36th at CB, is headed to Cal, skipping his planned visit to Tallahassee. Now down to just one DB commit, Jemari Foreman—who’s drawing serious interest from Louisville—the Seminoles face a steep climb to rebuild their secondary. With Loud gone, the staff is pivoting to targets like Tae Walden Jr. and Kamauri Whitfield, all while trying to keep pace with a class that currently sits at 10 verbal commitments and 58th nationally. The pressure’s on to fix this before the 2027 deadline. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
