The Hurricanes tried to make a late move with a local prospect, but he ultimately chose a rival.
Florida State flipped St. Thomas Aquinas standout safety Conrad Hussey from Penn State, adding him to the Seminoles’ recruiting class on the second day of the three-day Early Signing Period.
Hussey, a Sun Sentinel Super 11 pick, had been committed to the Nittany Lions since April 25, but he flipped to Florida State on Thursday.
Although Hussey ultimately chose the Seminoles, he said Dec. 15 that Miami coach Mario Cristobal and the Hurricanes staff had been recruiting him hard anyway.
