Florida State football is heading into 2027 looking totally different after head coach Mike Norvell and a few other position coaches got shown the door this past Sunday, right after that loss to the Clemson Tigers. When something like that happens, you know the recruiting game gets wild, especially with committed prospects who have built relationships with those very coaches. So, what did 2027 three-star edge Anthony Cavallaro do? He doubled down, making it clear his commitment is firm, and he’s sticking in Tallahassee.
Seminole Loyalty: Cavallaro Stands Tall
This kid, Cavallaro, thinks super highly of Norvell, and he’s been committed to the FSU program since way back in January. You gotta respect that loyalty, especially when the ground just shook. “It’s very unfortunate losing an amazing coach like that in a program but I’ve been a Seminole since January and I’m still a Seminole now my commitment isn’t changing. Go Noles 🍢🍢,” Cavallaro told Zach Blostein of 247Sports. That’s the kind of raw honesty and commitment you love to see from a young player, proving those bonds are deeper than just one coach.
A Crucial Win for FSU’s Future
Let’s talk about why this is such a big deal for FSU. Cavallaro is a force, a 6-foot-5, 229-pound edge rusher. He’s ranked the No. 363 recruit overall and the No. 33 edge nationally, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. Plus, he’s a top talent in his home state, coming in as the No. 33 prospect in Florida. He shut down his recruitment back in May after an official visit, so for him to reaffirm his commitment *after* such a major shakeup in the coaching staff is a massive win. With the early signing period coming up in December, holding onto a player of Cavallaro’s caliber is absolutely huge for the Seminoles. It sends a message, doesn’t it?
This kind of steadfastness could be a building block for the Seminoles as they navigate the coaching transition. All eyes will be on December’s early signing period to see who else stands with Cavallaro and what kind of class FSU can pull together after this wild ride.
