Things aren’t too bad right now for Florida State and head coach Mike Norvell. On Sunday, his team beat LSU and then five days later, he took a helicopter to check in on one of the nation’s top 25 recruits.
A player who just so happens to be committed to Florida State.
Colquitt County (Moultrie, Georgia) tight end Landen Thomas, a five-star tight end according to 247Sports, was the center of the impressive visit from Norvell. The Florida State head coach certainly arrived in style via the helicopter, a move that is as much about ease and expedience as it is simply about making a splash.
Social media was buzzing about Norvell’s arrival in the chopper, and that is exactly the kind of recruiting cache that a head coach needs to keep a blue-chip prospect like Thomas committed.
Got a good source that tells me FSU head coach Mike Norvell is in that helicopter.
