The American Heritage standout chose the Seminoles over Wisconsin, Miami and Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>According to the On3 Industry Ranking, the 5-foot-10, 205-pound recruit is a top-300 player in the country, as well as a top-20 running back in the 2025 class. <\/p>\n<p>At the start of Louis\u2019 recruitment, Florida State was not a huge factor.

So I feel like that\u2019s something that always stands out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Louis is the second player from American Heritage to commit to Florida State in the 2025 class.
