Florida State is making its second addition to #Tribe26 in as many days. The Seminoles have a little momentum to work with after pounding Wake Forest, 42-7, over the weekend.

FSU's coaching staff is taking advantage by flipping a local prospect from an SEC program.

On Monday afternoon, three-star linebacker Daylen Green announced he was flipping his commitment from Arkansas to Florida State. He was on campus over the weekend for his official visit to watch the Seminoles take down the Demon Deacons.

A local product out of Gadsden County High School, Green picked up an offer from the Seminoles over the summer following his performance at a camp. Florida State was considered the main contender to land his pledge at the time.

However, Green surprised the Seminoles when he pledged to Arkansas shortly after an official visit. Green was originally a member of the 2027 class but reclassified to the 2026 class earlier this year.

The Florida native has the versatility to play linebacker or safety at the college level. Florida State will find out where he fits best once he arrives on campus.

Last season, Green totaled 111 tackles and four tackles for loss on defense while adding nine catches for 153 yards and a touchdown on offense.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound linebacker is regarded as the No. 962 overall prospect, the No. 75 LB, and the No. 104 recruit in Florida in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

Information On Florida State's 2026 class

With the addition of Green, Florida State holds 27 verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 13 in the country.
