“Just when I was younger in AAU, all those things. High school, when you’re early, like freshman year. That was a lot of figuring out and a lot of people overlooking you cause if you’re not ranked a certain number, you get overlooked. Those things happen but now I’m at Kentucky. I feel like everything happens for a reason.
In one of the most shocking twists of the recruiting cycle, Rasean Dinking, the elite 4-star defensive back, announced his sudden flip from Georgia Tech to Florida State. The decision came just hours after reports surfaced of a secret midnight phone call between Dinking and NFL legend Deion Sanders, who allegedly encouraged the young star to “follow greatness.”
A Flip for the Ages
Dinking’s move to Florida State sent shockwaves through the college football world. Previously committed to Georgia Tech, the defensive back was seen as a cornerstone for the Yellow Jackets. Now, his decision to join Mike Norvell’s surging Florida State program has left fans and analysts scrambling to understand what triggered the sudden change.
The Deion Sanders Factor
Though now coaching at Colorado, Sanders has long been a Florida State icon. Unconfirmed rumors suggest that Sanders reached out to Dinking late last night, reminding him of the Seminoles’ legacy of producing elite defensive backs like Jalen Ramsey and Derwin James.
“I can’t say much, but Prime’s words hit different,” an anonymous source close to Dinking shared. “He told Rasean to make a decision that would put him in the history books.”
Dinking’s Statement
In his announcement, Dinking left fans with a cryptic message: “Sometimes you realize your path is bigger than you. Florida State is where my story continues, and I can’t wait to build my legacy with the ‘Noles.”
Shockwaves Through Recruiting
Georgia Tech fans have been left heartbroken, accusing Florida State of leveraging its star-studded alumni network to sway the recruit. Florida State fans, however, are celebrating what they see as a major victory in the arms race of college football recruiting.
The Bigger Picture
If true, the alleged involvement of Deion Sanders adds another layer of intrigue to an already sensational story. It highlights how the influence of iconic alumni can shape recruiting battles in unpredictable ways.
Whether the rumors of Sanders’ involvement are ever confirmed or not, one thing is certain: Rasean Dinking’s flip to Florida State will be remembered as one of the wildest moments in recent recruiting history.
