Jalen Ramsey was one of two five-star recruits in the 2013 class. Ramsey hailed from Tennessee and was a last minute addition to the class do mainly to Jeremy Pruitt.
Ramsey checked in at 6’1 190 pounds and a player rating of 99.21. The first true cornerback to start at FSU since Deion Sanders, Ramsey played both safety and cornerback at FSU.
Ramsey did it all while at FSU, played safety, cornerback and returned kickoffs.
He was a three-time All-American on the football field and in Track and Field. He was the No. 5 overall pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2016 NFL Draft, and one of the best 10 rookies according to Pro Football Focus.
Grade- A+
Same as DeMarcus Walker. He wa everything you wanted in a five-star caliber player. Significant contributions in two sports, fiery leader and a first round NFL Draft pick. Another player Jimbo Fisher can point to for future recruits to look at as a model of what’s possible.
