New Florida State football commit Devaughn Mortimer spoke with Warchant on Saturday about his decision, what he plans to bring to the Seminoles and more.

Q: So what led you to make the commitment to FSU?

A: It was the program, the coaches, and I really liked them growing up. I really like this offense. They throw the ball a lot, and they use their speedy guys like me so well. I'm stoked about being a Seminole.

Q: You're very well-known for your game-breaking speed. Is that something that has always come natural?

A: I've always been fast. But then I started working with track, and I've gotten a lot faster. Plus working out in the weight room has helped me with that part of the game. I also run track. My best event is the 200 [meters], and my best time there is 21.8.

Q: Obviously you're teammates at Dillard with FSU defensive end commit Nyjalik Kelly. I assume he already knew about your decision? Was he excited?

A: Yes, he already knew. He was very excited. We are going to bring a whole lot of fire to Tallahassee.
