BREAKING: Florida State Offensive Line Commit Flips to Florida
The Florida State Seminoles and Mike Norvell have had a lot of momentum on the recruiting trail heading into the 2022 season. Even during the season with a major pickup with 2023 blue-chip wide receiver Hykeem Williams picking Ron Dugans and the ‘Noles back in late September.
Alex Atkins and Mike Norvell have done a great job in one area in the last two years and that’s been building the trenches, primarily on the offensive side. The Seminoles did a fantastic job in the 2022 class bringing in a total of 10 offensive linemen including transfers from across the country.
On Monday evening, Atkins and Norvell lost a talented offensive lineman in the 2023 class with 4-star Roderick Kearney from Orange Park, Florida. After putting out his decommitment post on Twitter, Kearney a few minutes later posted that he'd be flipping his commitment to Billy Napier and the Florida Gators.
