Florida State lands commitment from four-star LB Gregory Batson

The early days of November have basically been a rollercoaster for Florida State on the recruiting trail.

The Seminoles climbed to the top of the tracks, landing three commitments in three days at the beginning of the week. However, since then, they reached the bottom of the mountain, losing a trio of pledges from #Tribe26, with two directly flipping to other programs.

With a road game against Clemson closing in, Florida State is making an addition to its 2027 class.

Four-Star LB Gregory Batson Commits To Florida State

On Friday, four-star linebacker and 2027 prospect, Gregory Batson, announced his commitment to Florida State. Batson chose the Seminoles over offers from Florida, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Oklahoma State, among others.

FSU extended a scholarship offer to Batson in January following his visit for a junior day. Batson was in the stands to watch the Seminoles take down Alabama and returned for the loss to Miami.

The 6-foot-1, 208-pound linebacker is regarded as the No. 324 overall prospect, the No. 4 LB, and the No. 37 recruit in Georgia in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.
