Four-star legacy defensive end Lamont Green Jr. signs with Florida State
The Florida State Seminoles added a very familiar name on the first day of the early signing period, as four-star defensive end commit and Miami native Lamont Green Jr. made things official and signed with FSU on Wednesday.
He was the first 2023 signee to sign his National Letter of Intent.
A prized legacy commitment for Florida State since pledging in February of his sophomore year nearly two years ago, Green is also one of the highest-rated prospects in the Seminoles’ 2023 recruiting class. Green rates as the nation’s No. 28 edge rusher and the No. 256 overall prospect in the country, according to the On3 Conensus.
Following his official visit to Tallahassee this past weekend, Green said he “can’t wait to be” at FSU, explaining that it feels surreal to finally become a ‘Nole.
“Best experience of my entire life. … I would never trade it for the world,” Green said.
