The Florida State Seminoles' 2019 recruiting class received another boost on Wednesday when four-star defensive lineman Derick Hunter, one of the top recruits from the state of Florida, announced his commitment to FSU.
Hunter, the 31st-ranked player in Florida and 15th-ranked strong-side defensive end nationally according to the 247Sports Composite, chose the Seminoles over Georgia, Miami and UF. Hunter had previously committed to the Hurricanes in June 2017 but backed out of his pledge in November.
In his announcement on Twitter, Hunter said he made the decision "after talking with my family and coaches and building a relationship with a coaching staff" that he had known since his freshman year at Dunbar High in Fort Myers.
