Congrats to @DeionSanders for landing @TravisHunterJr #1 recruit in country. Fsu gotta stop crying. They coulda had Deion and let him go. Now he’s kicking their ass. Looking forward to Travis Hunters new profile. https://t.co/KoFtOvooFv pic.twitter.com/MdcDjShRFQ

There's a strong feeling around college football that a significant NIL deal proved the driver to push top recruit Travis Hunter to Jackson State over FSU. This could be remembered as a seminal moment in recruiting, the first seismic commitment shift we've seen from NIL.

Travis Hunter also denied Georgia and picked JSU instead.

It’s not just FSU here…

Holy shit. This is so wrong on many levels, but I do not blame Travis Hunter personally. #FSU https://t.co/fu5yNZtXSO

I wish nothing but the best for Travis Hunter. At the end of the day, he’s a good kid.

But, on behalf of FSU, it’s time to move forward.

No looking back now.
