Noles News: FSU, putting finishing touches on 2024 class, adds a blue-chip recruit for 2025

It’s not a transfer, but Florida State football still added a player at the expense of the Alabama Crimson Tide, with 2025 blue-chip defensive lineman Javion Hilson flipping his commitment from Alabama to FSU.

From Josh Pick:

Hilson, who stands 6-3.5 225 pounds, attends Cocoa High School (Florida), and has a 98 rating (high four-star) from the 247Sports Composite List. The sites consider him the 47th best player in his class (7th best EDGE prospect and 6th best player in FL).

He was considered a Florida State lean before surprisingly committing to Alabama in early December.
