FSU linebacker commit shuts down his recruitment

2027 four-star linebacker commit Jernard Albright has shut down his recruitment and is sticking with Florida State.

Florida State has received positive news regarding its 2027 recruiting class. Four-star prospect Jernard Albright has decided to stay with the Seminoles. According to Kolby Crawford of Noles247, Albright stated, "I'm fully shut down." Albright is ranked as the nation's No. 193 overall recruit and the No. 16 safety by 247Sports composite rankings.

In Georgia, he is the No. 21 prospect. Recruited primarily as a linebacker, Albright committed to FSU back in June, joining other high-caliber recruits like Sam LeJeune, Sean Green, and Jayden Miles. Linebackers coach and interim defensive coordinator Ernie Sims played a significant role in Albright's decision. "Coach Sims has been with me since the start," Albright shared, adding, "He definitely shut me down, calming my brain and keeping me on the right track."

With the search for a new head coach underway, the commitment of a talent like Albright to the program is a promising sign for Florida State's recruiting efforts in 2027. For more Florida State news and updates, follow FSU Wire on X and like their Facebook page.
