FSU Football Beats Ohio State, Others For Four-Star RB Jayden Miles

The conversation in Tallahassee over the last few weeks has mainly focused on Florida State's struggles on the recruiting trail.

Following an unproductive spring, the Seminoles found their #Tribe27 class in free fall entering June. However, as discussed at length, head coach Mike Norvell has usually had most of his success during the summer.

That appears to be no different this time around as Florida State is adding its third commitment in just over a week.

Four-Star RB Jayden Miles Commits To Florida State Over Ohio State, Others

On Monday, four-star running back Jayden Miles announced a decision that will fire up Seminole fans. Miles has committed to Florida State over Ohio State, LSU, Auburn, Kentucky, and Texas Tech.

Miles is the third pledge in the last eight days for the Seminoles, joining four-star linebacker Jernard Albright and three-star defensive lineman Eric Vaulx Jr.

This is a major move for the Seminoles, who were the first program to offer Miles a scholarship in 2024. Gabe Fertitta extended the scholarship at that time, and he returned to Florida State as Director of Football Strategy earlier this year.

The recruiting win is also a feather in the cap for running backs coach Kam Martin. Miles is the first prep recruit that Martin has landed since being hired by the Seminoles. He almost certainly won't be the last.

What makes this even better is that Miles is a legitimate blue-chip prospect. Plus, he chose Florida State despite coming off an official visit to Ohio State.

Miles put together a breakout junior season for Baton Rouge Catholic High School. He recorded over 1,000 yards on the ground and scored 24 total touchdowns, earning all-state honors. In 2024, Miles set the school record with seven touchdowns in a single game.

The 6-foot-2, 203-pound running back is regarded as the No. 388 overall prospect, the No. 30 RB, and the No. 15 recruit in Louisiana in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.

Even with Miles in the fold, Florida State is still monitoring three-star Marquis Fennell, who was on campus this past weekend.
