FSU football: Reaction to Malachi Wideman flipping to Tennessee

FSU football signed 17 of its 18 commits during the early signing period in December. Four-star wide receiver Malachi Wideman was the lone exception and now we know why.

The two-star athlete stayed ‘committed’ to the Noles while choosing to visit the likes of Washington State, Oregon, Ole Miss and Tennessee.

There was some hope he might stick with the Noles as he and his family kept things close to the vest.

Ultimately he chose to sign with Tennessee where both football and basketball programs are fairly terrible.

The reasoning doesn’t make much sense other than maybe he figured he would get more playing time at Tennessee in terms of basketball?
