FSU football recruiting seems to be picking up momentum as of late. Fans react to the commitment of four-star linebacker Amari Gainer.
FSU football landed the 10th commitment to its 2018 recruiting class when local product Amari Gainer gave his pledge to the ‘Noles Friday night.
It was a move that came as no surprise to most, but it was a huge commitment nonetheless as the ‘Noles beat out Alabama, Miami and others for the talented linebacker.
It’s still early in the rankings, but the class now consists of 60 percent blue chip players and is ranked No. 6 in the nation, No. 2 in the ACC behind Miami.
Gainer dropped a great video to announcement his commitment which can be viewed below:

Thoughts
Gainer is expected to play the linebacker similar to Jacob Pugh who rushes off the edge and drops in coverage at times. He’s friends with another linebacker target, four-star Teradja Mitchell, who’s set to announce between FSU football and Ohio State next week.

If FSU can land both Gainer and Mitchell, that will be a heck of a linebacker haul with two players that like to lay the wood to opponents.
A lot of fans were skeptical of FSU recruiting (as they usually are every year), but Jimbo Fisher has proven he’s an elite recruiter with a method to how he does things. Trust the process FSU fans!
