5-Star Defensive Lineman Armondo Blount Jr. Decommits from Miami, Joins FSU after Reclassifying to 2024 Class

Top-rated defensive tackle decommits from Miami Hurricanes to join FSU 2024 class, citing FSU as better place for his development as athlete and individual.

• Armondo Blount Jr., a 5-star defensive lineman and top-five recruit, has decommitted from Miami to join Florida State (FSU), citing FSU's capacity to better develop him as an athlete and individual.
• Blount was initially committed to the Miami Hurricanes, but with the team's performance slipping (the Hurricanes have gone 2-2, falling out of the top 25), he changed his decision after a recruiting visit to FSU.
• Blount, a product of Miami Central High School, has showcased remarkable statistics this season with 32 tackles, 10 for loss, and eight sacks through just five games.
• He plans to reclassify to the 2024 class, at which point he will bolster FSU's already strong 2024 class, which includes six top-100 prospects and three 5-star recruits.
• Blount was particularly impressed by Associate Head Coach/Defensive Tackles Coach Odell Haggins at FSU, citing his track record in developing defensive linemen over his 30-year career.
