FSU football is in the mix for several blue-chip defensive backs in the 2024 recruiting cycle.
One of the top targets is four-star cornerback Jamari Howard, who had a commitment to Michigan State until Saturday morning.
Howard was one of the first guys I mentioned whose recruitment could be impacted when FSU hired Patrick Surtain as the new defensive backs coach earlier this year.
Howard announced his de-commitment from Michigan State via his Twitter account Saturday morning:

Howard is a top player in the composite rankings, and I figured it would be tough for Michigan State to hold on to a player of that caliber that hails from South Florida.
