Defensive end prospect Nicolas Clayton has committed to Wisconsin this afternoon. He made his decision just a little bit over 48 hours after having finished his official visit to Florida State.
I really liked his film and thought it would be a good take on its own merits. However, this is a numbers game and most likely means a couple of things.
One, they feel really good about Javion Hilson's commitment.
And two, the think they are going to get either Zion Grady, Jared Smith or Jalen Wiggins to commit. It is possible that they could end up with two of those three prospects. My opinion is that FSU would have taken a commitment from Clayton if it didn't feel it was getting at least two of the four aforementioned prospects.
The other component of this that works in FSU's favor is that if for some reason they were not able to get two of those four players, the Seminoles can take another shot with Clayton. Staying in-state would be a great selling point if Norvell and company decided to try and flip Clayton this fall.
