Three-Star DL Tico Crittendon Decommits From Florida State

FSU Athletics

On Wednesday evening, three-star defensive lineman Tico Crittendon announced his decommitment from Florida State. Crittendon originally pledged to the Seminoles in June, choosing the program over Georgia and Texas Tech.

Crittendon was most recently in Tallahassee on October to watch Florida State's loss to Miami.

The Georgia native is the second recruit to decommit from Florida State this week. Four-star safety Tedarius Hughes flipped from the Seminoles to Syracuse on Tuesday. Hughes had been pledged to FSU for well over a year.
