It’s Friday, Florida State fans.

Lead Story
Florida State football received good and bad news on the recruiting trail on Thursday.
The Seminoles landed a commitment from 2022 athlete Brian Courtney. An athlete from Ashburn, Va., Courtney has not yet been rated by recruiting sites. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, Courtney held offers from Old Dominion, Columbia and Massachusetts.
Courtney became the eighth commitment for FSU’s 2022 class. It currently ranks 10th nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite and first in the ACC.
The day ended on a low note however, as Orlando running back Cedric Baxter Jr. backed off his commitment to FSU. Baxter, a 2023 prospect, is listed at 6-foot-1 and 215 pounds.
Baxter had been committed to FSU since July. He was not yet ranked by the Composite, but was a top-100 prospect nationally, per 247Sports.
