Report: 4-Star QB Tramell Jones Jr. Decommits from FSU Ahead of Early Signing Period

Four-star quarterback Tramell Jones Jr. has decommitted from Florida State, according to Hayes Fawcett of On3.

Jones is the No. 21 quarterback and No. 237 overall player in 247Sports' composite rankings for 2025. He's the sixth recruit to decommit from the Seminoles amid their disappointing season.

FSU is serving as a prime example of how quickly the narrative can turn on a program and its head coach.

In 2023, the Seminoles had a perfect regular season, while Mike Norvell won multiple Coach of the Year awards. Now, they're sitting at 1-9 and people are beginning to wonder whether Norvell is still the right guy for the job.

Florida State's performance would be enough to have a ripple effect on the recruiting trail. Firing offensive coordinator Alex Atkins, defensive coordinator Adam Fuller and wide receivers coach Ron Dugans probably didn't help because recruits often build a strong rapport with assistant coaches.

The Seminoles were 12th in 247Sports' composite team rankings for 2024. With Jones' defection, they're now 42nd in the 2025 recruiting cycle.

There's still time for Norvell and his staff to fill out the class and flip some recruits who are committed elsewhere, but the start of the early signing period is less than a month away (Dec. 4). It will be tough to match the haul FSU had a year ago.

The sting of losing Jones could also be compounded by watching him move over to an in-state rival. Florida is the favorite to land him in 247Sports' crystal ball.
