In-State Defensive Lineman Headed To Big Ten Over Florida State

The Florida State Seminoles aren't in a great spot on the recruiting trail. Over the last few months, the Seminoles have fallen outside of the top-50 in the class rankings.

That's a far cry from where the Seminoles are expected to be year in and year out. Somehow, head coach Mike Norvell is on pace to sign his worst recruiting class since arriving in Tallahassee nearly seven years ago.

Another target is headed elsewhere but it's not necessarily the end of the world for Florida State

Three-Star Defensive Lineman Heads To Nebraska Instead Of Staying In Sunshine State

On Friday, three-star defensive lineman Errol Demontagnac announced his commitment to Nebraska over Florida State and Virginia.

The Seminoles joined the hunt for Demontagnac at the end of April. He was scheduled to officially visit Tallahassee next weekend. However, that trip appears to be off the table.

It's worth noting that Florida State recently landed three-star defensive lineman Eric Vaulx Jr. and finds itself trending for three-star defensive lineman Jason Lewis.

During his junior season at Armwood High School, Demontagnac III totaled 87 tackles, 30 tackles for loss, 14 sacks, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.

Demontagnac III recorded at least one sack in nine outings. He finished with a season-high 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, and three sacks in a 38-21 victory against Gaither High School on August 22.

The 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive lineman is regarded as the No. 855 overall prospect, the No. 98 DL, and the No. 83 recruit in Florida in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
