Ruggs III is a four-star wide receiver recruit from Montgomery, Alabama, and was heavily considering FSU football. However, Alabama is his home state and that was too much in the end for the talented receiver.
This was really a coin flip battle as FSU went toe-to-toe with Alabama over their No.1 wide receiver recruit for the second year in a row. Keith Gavin was Alabama’s top wide receiver last year and FSU was able to get his commitment.
However, its not too often you can beat Nick Saban for a player he wants, not to mention when its an in-state player.
