There's a strong feeling around college football that a significant NIL deal proved the driver to push top recruit Travis Hunter to Jackson State over FSU. This could be remembered as a seminal moment in recruiting, the first seismic commitment shift we've seen from NIL.

FSU TE Cam McDonald hopped on the “Fire Mike Norvell” twitter space and defended his head coach.

He also said he plans on returning next season.

Travis Hunter also denied Georgia and picked JSU instead.

It’s not just FSU here…

Holy shit. This is so wrong on many levels, but I do not blame Travis Hunter personally. #FSU https://t.co/fu5yNZtXSO

I wish nothing but the best for Travis Hunter. At the end of the day, he’s a good kid.

But, on behalf of FSU, it’s time to move forward.

No looking back now.
