Isaac Nauta Decommits from FSU: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

Isaac Nauta, one of the best pass-catchers in the 2016 recruiting class, has decommitted from Florida State. 

The Georgia native announced his decision on Twitter:

Per 247Sports, Nauta, a 5-star prospect, is the No. 1 tight end in next year's recruiting class and the No. 17 player overall. The site's crystal ball projections had Florida State listed as his top destination with 64 percent of the vote, with Georgia coming in second at 36 percent. 

Losing Nauta does put a dent in Florida State's recruiting for next season, but head coach Jimbo Fisher's program should be able to withstand the loss. The Seminoles are still ranked third overall in early 2016 recruiting rankings by 247Sports. 

Per Kipp Adams of 247Sports, Nauta recently said the Bulldogs were always one of the top teams on his preferred list of schools: 

"

They have always been at the top for me. Really the proximity to home plays in their favor. One thing about Georgia and Florida State is that they both have great tight end coaches in Coach John Lilly and Coach Tim Brewster. I love to be around both of those guys. So Georgia has atmosphere, closeness to my family and a great tight end coach as advantages.

"

According to Andrew King of the Football Brainiacs, Nauta recently had a visit with, and received an offer from, the University of Texas. 

Given the hype surrounding Nauta as a prospect—and with his recruiting reopened in time for coaches around the country to make their move—expect a lot of action on him over the next several months. The Seminoles weren't offering him exactly what he wanted, but there's a program out there that will. 

Tight ends are more valuable than ever in football. Nauta is physically ready to play at the college level with a 6'4", 237-pound frame, so coaches across the country will be putting their best foot forward to make him happy.
