FSU football: 5-star TE Landen Thomas flips from UGA to FSU

FSU football lands another one! Five-star tight end Landen Thomas flipped his commitment from the University of Georgia Bulldogs to the Florida State Seminoles.

It has not been a secret that Thomas was wavering on his UGA commitment, especially since he chose the FSU spring game over Georgia’s this past weekend.

Landen was once an FSU commitment in 2021 and is now back with the Seminoles. Hopefully, this one sticks!

He made the announcement on social media Monday afternoon:

Luke Kromenhoek has so many weapons in the Tribe ’24 class with RB Kameron Davis, WR Camdon Frier, WR Tawaski Abrams, WR Lawayne McCoy, ATH BJ Gibson, and TE Landen Thomas. The talent there alone is something Alabama or Georgia would have at this point. I can’t say enough about this staff and what Coach Norvell has done.

How will this commitment reflect what 4-star TE Kylan Fox will do? He had FSU in his top 6 a few weeks ago and was trending toward the Noles. Fox and Thomas are both very similar in how they play the game.

Will this commitment bring in some blue-chip guys like Charles Lester and KJ Bolden who will be looking at this class and want to be a part of something special? I think the floodgates are open, and Coach Norvell can now be a little picky on who he wants to take.

That luxury is something a big-time coach does, and Norvell is on his way to being that big-time coach with a great season this year and momentum moving into 2024. It’s a great time to be an FSU football fan, if the spring doesn’t get you excited then wait until the season starts and you see the talent on display for the Noles.

This commitment moves the Noles back into the top five nationally with 11 commitments.
