"Florida State, first offer, they were the first college I visited, they have been on my since 9th grade and they have always been with me and high on my list," Wynn told On3. "At the end of the official visit, I made my decision to commit to Florida State. It felt like home."

The 6-foot-3 edge rusher was previously committed to the Alabama Crimson Tide but flipped his decision on January 16.

"I like the atmosphere and the fan base. My dad is a big Florida State fan and I grew up watching them and it’s close to home," Hilson said, as per On3. "I am a Florida boy and they’ve been recruiting me the heaviest ever since I committed to Alabama. Also, I can fit the best in their defense 4-2-5 as a true defensive end."

Thomas was in Tallahassee for the October game between FSU and Duke. He was impressed by the atmosphere and talked about it in an interview with Warchant.

"It was a great game and it was a crazy atmosphere," Thomas told Warchant. "This is the kind of atmosphere you want to play in. ... And when you see guys rotating, and they have a great attitude and they are playing with a purpose and not for themselves. That’s what you want to be around."
