DB Target Staying On West Coast Instead Of Florida State

The Florida State Seminoles seemingly had their defensive backfield haul in #Tribe27 under control earlier this year. At one point, the Seminoles held pledges from four-star safety Mekhi Williams, four-star cornerback Bryce Williams, and three-star cornerback DaYon Cooper.

All three players committed to other schools in recent weeks. Cooper was the most recent departure, backing off his decision on Sunday and choosing Tennessee a short time later.

Florida State's lone remaining DB pledge, three-star safety Jemari Foreman, is being heavily pursued by Louisville. Other options across the board are drying up as cornerbacks coach Blue Adams and safeties coach Evan Cooper have plenty of work to do.

Four-Star DB Picks Cal Over Florida State, Others

On Monday, four-star cornerback Kamil Loud announced his commitment to Cal. Loud picked the Golden Bears over Florida State and Washington, among others.

Loud is spending his prep career at Bishop Gorman High School in Nevada. However, he's actually from California and will get back closer to home with this decision.

Florida State offered Loud back in January. He was supposed to officially visit the Seminoles this weekend, but that trip is now off the table.

During his junior season at Bishop Gorman High School, Loud totaled 18 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, and 3 pass deflections.

The 6-foot-0.5, 170-pound defensive back is regarded as the No. 314 overall prospect, the No. 36 CB, and the No. 2 recruit in Nevada in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.

With Loud off the board, Florida State is still focused on four-star Tae Walden Jr. and three-star Kamauri Whitfield
