James Wilder, Jr., the consensus top-five high school football prospect, committed to Florida State University this week in a press conference.
Wilder, who is listed as an athlete due to his versatility as a running back and linebacker, narrowed his list of schools to FSU, Florida and Georgia. He had over 55 offers to choose from.
Even though many project that the 6-foot-2, 220-pound athlete will play linebacker in college, Wilder insists he will line up at running back at Florida State. He cited new head coach Jimbo Fisher’s offense and their overall tradition as the reasons for his selection.
As a junior, Wilder earned nearly 1,000 yards rushing and 14 touchdowns at Plant H.S. in Tampa. FL. He also accumulated over 100 tackles and 17 sacks on defense.
Rivals.com ranks Wilder as the No. 3 overall player in the country and No. 2 in the state of Florida. FlaVarsity.com ranks Wilder as the No. 1 overall player in Florida.
Wilder becomes the second five-star prospect to commit to Florida State, following Karlos Williams, the 6-foot-2, 210 defensive back from Ridge H.S. in Davenport, FL.
