Florida State just got its biggest commitment of the 2020 cycle as four-star running back Jaylan Knighton has committed to FSU. Knighton is considered to be FSU’s top target on its running back board and today they closed the deal.
At 5’9 194lbs Knighton is a speed demon from Deerfield Beach High School out of Deerfield Beach, Florida. Jaylan ranks 94th nationally, 3rd at his position, and 14th within the state of Florida in 247’s National Composite Rankings.
Knighton chose FSU over offers from Ohio State, Clemson, Miami, Alabama, and Oklahoma. After he decommitted from Oklahoma in January Knighton’s recruitment really began to heat up.
