FSU football is looking to establish momentum with its 2021 recruiting class. Four-star defensive back Hunter Washington could do just that.

FSU football and Mike Norvell are working to make up ground on its 2021 recruiting class. The staff was behind other top tier programs due to salvaging the 2020 recruiting class after Willie Taggart was fired.

They made some progress early by getting a commitment from three-star defensive end Joshua Farmer.

That news was followed up a few days later with huge commitments from four-star quarterback Luke Altmyer and another commitment from four-star linebacker Branden Jennings a short while after that.

The Noles then went two months before securing their next commitment in three-star offensive lineman Jake Slaughter.

Now, the Noles have secured their sixth verbal commitment of the 2021 recruiting cycle nearly a month to the day since Slaughter committed with four-star defensive back Hunter Washington.

What’s the impact of his commitment to the Noles? Let’s talk about it.
