Florida State Secures Early Commitment From Promising Athlete Chayse Brown

The Florida State Seminoles are in a constant mode of evaluation. Considering the recent state of the program, it's imperative for the coaching staff to identify and secure as much talent as possible.

That has the Seminoles staying in the present, while keeping a watchful eye on the future. Over the years, head coach Mike Norvell has added plenty of early commitments who went on to become prominent recruits. Names such as Travis Hunter, CJ Baxter, Kam Davis, and Javion Hilson immediately come to mind.

Promising Athlete Chayse Brown Makes Early Commitment To Florida State

On Thursday, rising junior and 2028 athlete Chayse Brown announced his commitment to Florida State.

Brown just picked up an offer from the Seminoles yesterday, impressing the coaching staff with his performance during a 7-on-7 camp. With the offer in hand, it didn't take him long to make a decision.

Florida State is recruiting Brown as a defensive back.

Brown chose the Seminoles over LSU, North Carolina, Nebraska, UNLV, UConn, Marshall, and Buffalo, among others.

During his sophomore season at Lennard High School, Brown totaled six tackles and an interception on defense. He added 20 receptions for 334 yards and three touchdowns on offense.

Brown recorded a season-high three catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns in a 58-6 victory against Spoto High School on August 29.

The 6-foot-2, 165-pound athlete has yet to be ranked in the 2028 class.
