Savannah (Ga.) Islands outside linebacker Kalen DeLoach — a 4-star per 247Sports’ composite — committed to Florida State over Michigan during a ceremony Monday at his high school.
DeLoach announced a top-four of FSU, Michigan and Auburn and Alabama in early July, previously planning to announce after his senior season.
Chris Nee of Florida State’s 247 affiliate reported Seminole head coach Willie Taggart and linebackers coach Raymond Woodie fostered a strong bond with his family during multiple visits to Tallahassee this summer.
Michigan currently had one linebacker committed in Georgia 3-star Charles Thomas, though fellow 3-star Joey Velazquez seems destined for Viper.
