Florida State coaches have a solid recruiting class after finishing the 2024 season with a 2-10 record. The Noles rank No. 14 nationally, with 26 commits. FSU had one composite five-star player and several blue-chip players before the latest recruiting rankings update in the industry.
However, the highest-rated FSU commit, Chauncey Kennon, is no longer ranked a five-star player after dropping from No. 26 overall to No. 41 over the past couple of months.
How does a player who became a composite five-star player in September get dropped that far in a short amount of time? The composite ranking is a combination of all the recruiting services, and it seems that players committed to teams in the SEC or B1G receive some favoritism.
