FSU missing out on 4-star EDGE to Auburn is more frustration for Mike Norvell

It feels like FSU's recruiting momentum has hit a wall.

The good news is the class is still ranked in the top 15 and holding fairly steady there right now. But the class is reeling from the loss of four-star running back Amari Thomas and have lost out on several targets at edge rusher.

One more came off the board yesterday when top 100 national prospect Jaquez Wilkes committed to Auburn. FSU tried to put together a late rally to convince the 6-foot-4, 225-pound blue chipper to come to Tallahassee, but the Wadley, Alabama, resident decided to stay home.
