FSU officially adds 3 more signees to 2025 recruiting class

Florida State Sports Information release:

Florida State added three signees to its 2025 signing class Wednesday as offensive lineman Chastan Brown, defensive back Antonio Cromartie Jr., and offensive lineman Chavez ‘Sandman’ Thompson signed on the first day of the spring signing period.

“I’m very excited to add these three, who all have great potential to develop within our program,” Florida State head coach Mike Norvell said. “Chastan has tremendous length and athletic ability, which he showcased on the football field and the basketball court as a two-sport standout. He brings elite measurables with a huge upside to our offensive line.

“Antonio was a productive player on one of the top teams in the state of Georgia. I’ve watched him grow over the last few years and believe his best football is still in front of him. “Sandman” (Chavez) has played at a very high level throughout his career. He has a chance to grow into the center position with his toughness, physicality and great leadership.”

Florida State signed 20 freshmen during the December signing period and has added 16 transfers. All 16 transfers and 15 true freshmen are on campus and with the team for the spring semester. The group of 39 signees is rated the second-best class in the ACC and is a consensus top-20 class nationally.
