Marvin Bracy Commits To Florida State Seminoles

Marvin Bracy, a wide receiver from Boone High School in Orlando, Florida has committed to the Florida State Seminoles, during a press conference at his High School. Bracy picked Florida State over Florida, LSU and Texas A&M. He will be playing both Track and Football at Florida State. Bracy was one of the top targets on FSU board, with Head Coach Jimbo Fisher offering him before he played his first down of Varsity football.

Bracy is a 5'9" and 173 pounds bolt of lightning that can be used multiple ways on the field. We can see Bracy playing close to the 190lbs range with a similar build as Florida's Jeff Demps.  His primary use will be as an elite kick returner, but he can also be used as a utility back, slot receiver and wildcat quaterback. Some players have track speed that doesn't translate to the football field. This is not the case with Bracy.  Bracy is a football player first, track athlete second. Bracy also brings a lot of upside to the football field as last year was his first on varisity and having not played football as a freshman.

The added bonus that Marvin Bracy brings to Florida State is his speed to the Track program. Bracy just won the USATF Junior Outdoor T&F Championships with a personal best time of 10.05(Video here) in the 100 meters which was the 2nd fastest time ever by a high schooler.  Bracy is thought to be Olympic-bound eventually.
