Recruiting:
5-star Linebacker, Teradja Mitchell, former teammate of 5-star FSU signee, Khalan Laborn, is set for a 3 day visit this weekend to FSU. (VIP)
"I'm visiting Florida State this weekend," Mitchell said. "I am pretty sure that will be my last [visit before deciding]." "I love Coach [Odell] Haggins that recruits me. He is like an uncle to me. Great recruiter," Mitchell said. "A lot of players from my school have been going there. So a great connection there. I just feel like that place is home."
FSU was considered the early lean in his recruitment but Ohio State has surged following a spring game visit in April. Mitchell has said he will decide shortly after the visit sometime in late May or early June.
4-star Defensive tackle, Rick Sandidge, shares the latest in his recruitment. (VIP)
