PLANO, Texas \u2014 Florida State landed one of the top wide receivers in the 2025 class on Saturday as Daylan McCutcheon<\/a><\/strong> chose the Seminoles over Southern Cal, Texas and Ohio State. <\/p>\n

This is one high-profile recruitment that came down to the wire, as the majority of people at McCutcheon\u2019s commitment ceremony did not even know what he had decided. The blue-chip receiver told Warchant he wasn\u2019t even sure what he was going to do until right before he walked in the building. <\/p>\n

\u201cLiterally, like a couple of minutes ago, I\u2019m not gonna lie,\u201d McCutcheon said of his decision. \u201cI was obviously [emotional], I was crying to my dad, just talking to him. Like, I want to be able to go to Florida State and be able to make a big impact. The opportunity with Coach [Mike] Norvell<\/a><\/strong>. Just, I mean, I had to talk to him. I got on the call with Coach Norvell, and we just made it happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

McCutcheon said that call with Florida State\u2019s head coach took place just moments before McCutcheon told the world he would be a Seminole. And, as always, the fifth-year head coach was hyped. <\/p>\n

When asked how FSU beat out the competition for his commitment, the Lucas, Texas, standout said the family atmosphere in the Seminoles\u2019 program was the difference. It was something he saw from the first time he visited last summer. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest aspect is just the family-oriented team \u2014 just the way Coach Norvell is and Coach [Ron] Dugans<\/a><\/strong> is,\u201d McCutcheon said. \u201cThat just pulled the most out of me as a person. \u2026 I know Coach Norvell will be able to push me each and every day. Just with everybody there, the coaches that believe in me. After they watched me at a camp last summer, I just knew that that was the place.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Dugans ended up being the main recruiter for McCutcheon, he also developed a special bond with Norvell and tight ends coach Chris Thomsen<\/a><\/strong>, both of whom are from Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels great. \u2026 It\u2019s a lot of weight that\u2019s off my chest now,\u201d McCutcheon said. \u201cI mean, it feels real good that Coach Norvell is from this area, obviously, with Coach Thomsen as well. And knowing that my family\u2019s from Florida [and] they\u2019ll make it out to my games.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that he has committed to Florida State, McCutcheon wants to start helping the Seminoles pick up even more top prospects for 2025. <\/p>\n

When asked who he has in mind, the four-star wideout immediately said four-star linebacker and Ohio State commit Riley Pettijohn<\/a><\/strong>, as well as five-star wide receiver Kaliq Lockett<\/a><\/strong>. His pitch to them is already in the works.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got big dreams ahead,\u201d McCutcheon said he\u2019ll tell them. \u201cJust be able to put your head down, be able to work hard by going to Florida State. Obviously, the sky\u2019s the limit. You\u2019re gonna be able to accomplish many things at Florida State.\u201d<\/p>\n
