In a monumental recruiting win, Florida State has officially landed two of the nation’s top football prospects — brothers Mandrell and Darryll Desir — who announced their commitment earlier today, turning down powerhouse programs Alabama and Notre Dame in the process. The Desir twins, both five-star athletes from Miami, have been on the radar of elite programs nationwide, drawing attention with their explosive playmaking and leadership on and off the field.
Mandrell, a dynamic dual-threat quarterback, and Darryll, a hard-hitting linebacker with elite instincts, cited Florida State’s family atmosphere, coaching staff, and commitment to player development as key reasons for their decision. “This just felt like home,” Mandrell told ESPN. “Coach Norvell has a real vision for us — not just as players but as men.”
The commitment sends a strong message: FSU is back in the national spotlight and ready to compete with the best. With the Desir brothers joining a top-5 ranked recruiting class, expectations in Tallahassee have skyrocketed. Their decision not only strengthens the Seminoles’ future but also signals a cultural shift in recruiting momentum away from perennial giants like Alabama and Notre Dame.
