Four-star running back 'unlikely' to sign with FSU
Four-star running back Jayden Miles is committed to Florida State, but it seems "unlikely" that he signs with the Seminoles.
Jayden Miles, a highly-rated running back from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is one of Florida State University's top recruits for the 2027 class. However, holding onto Miles may prove to be a challenge for the Seminoles, particularly following the firing of head coach Mike Norvell. Despite this recent development, Miles' commitment to Florida State appears unlikely.
Miles initially chose FSU over rivals LSU and Ohio State, who are both having successful seasons and navigating new eras. Nevertheless, he has been receiving significant interest from LSU and Ohio State, making it difficult to envision him staying with the Seminoles. Recent reports suggest that if LSU intensifies its recruitment efforts, Miles might reconsider his allegiance to Florida State.
Ohio State is also in the process of finalizing their running back options, further complicating the situation for FSU. As of now, most sources believe it is improbable that Miles will sign with the Seminoles. Miles is currently ranked as the 389th overall player and 27th running back in the 247Sports composite, with the distinction of being the top Louisiana prospect. Losing Miles would be a significant setback for FSU's recruiting class, as he is the only committed running back and one of just seven four-star prospects.
Running backs coach Kam Martin played a crucial role in securing Miles' commitment, and the task of retaining him will now fall on the shoulders of Martin and the coaching staff at Florida State. Miles has established himself as a dominant force during his senior year at Baton Rouge Catholic, showcasing his prowess on the field.
Although his full statistical records are not available, he has demonstrated his ability to have an impact, as evidenced by his performance against Zachary High School. In that game, he amassed 214 yards and six touchdowns on just 11 carries, averaging an impressive 19.5 yards per carry.
