Prized UK football recruit Xavier Peters has flipped his pledge to Florida State, according to a report from 247Sports on Sunday morning.
Peters — a 6-foot-4 linebacker from Middletown, Ohio — was one of the highest rated prospects in the Wildcats’ recruiting class of 2018, but he was the only UK commitment who did not officially sign with the program last month.
The Tallahassee Democrat also reported Sunday that Peters has flipped to FSU.
Kentucky’s coaches were optimistic that he would eventually sign with the Cats in February, but Peters has instead committed to Florida State while on an official visit to Tallahassee this weekend.
