If there was any doubt about the strength of the Florida State football team’s “brand” in recruiting, Wednesday morning’s commitment from Georgia linebacker DJ Lundy should make a strong statement to the contrary.

Two weeks ago, the Seminoles were barely on Lundy’s radar. He was leaning toward Virginia Tech while still considering Georgia, UCLA and others.

Then FSU’s coaching staff jumped into the mix, made an offer last week, and everything changed.

Lundy took a last-minute official visit to FSU this past weekend and was only able to stay for about 24 hours because he arrived late due to a wrestling tournament. As it turns out, that was all the time he would need.

The Ocilla, Ga., product, who nearly signed with Vanderbilt during the early signing period, announced Wednesday morning he is signing with the Seminoles.

Lundy, who really hit it off with FSU linebackers coach Chris Marve during the visit, is listed as an "athlete" by Rivals and was recruited by some schools as a running back. But the 6-foot-1, 230-pounder is expected to play linebacker for the Seminoles.

He joins Jayion McCluster and Stephen Dix to give FSU its second straight impressive linebacker class. One year ago, the Seminoles landed Jaleel McRae, Kalen DeLoach and Kevon Glenn.

FSU also picked up a transfer linebacker from Purdue, Cornel Jones, last month.
