“Miami Hurricanes Fans Outraged as Star Recruit Flips Commitment to Rival Florida State”
Miami Hurricanes fans are reeling after top football recruit Jeremiah Jenkins shocked the college football world by flipping his commitment to rival Florida State Seminoles. Jenkins, a five-star defensive back and the centerpiece of Miami’s 2025 recruiting class, announced his decision in a late-night post on social media, leaving Hurricanes supporters blindsided and outraged.
The announcement has sparked heated debates within the college football community. Jenkins had been a vocal advocate for Miami’s program throughout his recruitment, frequently posting about his excitement to join the Hurricanes and develop under head coach Mario Cristobal. However, rumors of dissatisfaction with Miami’s recent defensive struggles may have played a role in his decision to switch allegiances.
Adding to the controversy, insiders have hinted at a lucrative NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deal offered by Florida State, which may have influenced Jenkins’ change of heart. Though unconfirmed, the alleged NIL package is said to rival some of the largest deals offered to college football recruits in recent years, further fueling concerns about the growing impact of money on college athletics.
For Miami, Jenkins’ decision represents a significant blow to the program’s momentum. After years of underwhelming performances, the Hurricanes had hoped to rebuild their reputation as a powerhouse in the ACC. Losing a player of Jenkins’ caliber to their fiercest rival not only hurts their roster but also impacts recruiting optics.
Meanwhile, Florida State fans have celebrated the news as a major victory, taking to social media to taunt their Miami counterparts. As the Hurricanes scramble to recover and secure other top recruits, the rivalry between the two programs has been reignited in dramatic fashion. For Jenkins, the pressure is now on to prove that his decision to join the Seminoles was the right one.
