One day after former Texas A&M running back Jashaun Corbin announced he would be transferring to Florida State, the Seminoles confirmed his signing on Sunday morning.

Release from FSU

Florida State has signed Jashaun Corbin, a transfer running back from Texas A&M. Corbin will be a redshirt sophomore in 2020. Below is a quote from head coach Mike Norvell, as well as Corbin’s bio. FSU has added 19 newcomers for the 2020 season.

Mike Norvell Statement:

“We’re fired up about the addition of Jashaun Corbin to the 2020 signing class and the Florida State football family. Jashaun is a dynamic player and impressive young man in every aspect on and off the field. Being able to get back to the state of Florida was critical for him and his family and provides us a special playmaker. His versatility and explosiveness make him a great fit into our offense, and I’m excited about being a part of his development as a student-athlete.”

FOLLOW-UP FROM WARCHANT STAFF:

Even though he redshirted in 2019 at Texas A&M, Corbin would need a waiver from the NCAA to be eligible to play in 2020. If he does not obtain a waiver, he would have to sit out one season per NCAA transfer rules.

Two years ago, it was a Florida State coaching change that led four-star running back Jashaun Corbin to back out of his commitment to Florida State.

Now, just a few weeks after the Seminoles underwent another coaching change, Corbin has decided FSU will be the right fit after all. The talented Texas A&M transfer announced on Saturday that he is going to be with the 'Noles in 2020.

"I'm coming home," Corbin posted on Twitter. "Let's get to work."

Corbin ended up signing with Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M in 2018 after decommitting from FSU and considering other schools. And his first season in College Station, Texas, went very well as he rushed for 346 yards and a touchdown on 61 carries. He also led the team with 422 return yards.

But after starting two games early in 2019 and then suffering a season-ending hamstring injury, Corbin entered the NCAA transfer portal in mid-December.

Now, the Rockledge, Fla., product is heading back home.

It is not known if he will have grounds to petition for immediate eligibility in 2020, or if he'll have to sit out a year due to NCAA transfer rules. The Seminoles could definitely use him sooner than later following Cam Akers' decision to bolt for the NFL.

FSU's only scholarship tailbacks right now are Khalan Laborn and Anthony Grant, and Grant missed the 2019 season while dealing with "personal" issues.

The Seminoles landed four-star RB Lawrance Toafili during the early signing period.
