Florida State has successfully swayed Javion Hilson, a four-star edge rusher from Cocoa, Florida, away from Alabama. Hilson took to social media, through HayesFawcett, to broadcast his decision to join the Seminoles.
Previously leaning towards FSU throughout most of 2023, Hilson had committed to the Crimson Tide in December. During a spring tour of Tallahassee, he expressed a strong connection with the team, noting his versatility on the defensive line and his fit in FSU’s 4-2-5 defense. He feels as if he can play anywhere the team needs on the defensive line.
His initial pledge was to the Alabama Crimson Tide, but Florida State managed to draw the 6-foot-3.5, 225-pound athlete to their program.
With offers from over 30 colleges, including prestigious programs like Florida, Georgia, LSU, and Ohio State, Hilson’s skills are widely recognized.
