Recruiting analyst for Warchant for seven years and have been in the business for over 17 years.
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.
FSU also picked up a transfer linebacker from Purdue, Cornel Jones, last month.
Linebacker DJ Lundy is joined by family and friends at Irwin County High School in Georgia on Wednesday as he signs with the Seminoles. (Special to Warchant.com)
