BREAKING NEWS: Twins Darryll and Mandrell Desir Decommit from Florida State, Flip to Virginia Tech Hokies in Shocking Turnaround
In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the college football recruiting world, twin defensive ends Darryll and Mandrell Desir have officially decommitted from Florida State University and pledged their allegiance to the Virginia Tech Hokies. The highly touted recruits had been committed to FSU for several months but have now flipped their commitment in a surprising turn of events.
The Desir twins, who have been among the most sought-after defensive prospects in the 2024 recruiting class, made their announcement in a joint statement. The brothers cited a variety of factors in their decision, including a strong connection with the coaching staff, a welcoming atmosphere in Blacksburg, and the Hokies’ vision for their future development.
“It’s a decision that comes from the heart,” Darryll Desir said. “Virginia Tech gave us a real family feel. We’ve always talked about playing together, and the Hokies made it clear that they wanted us to be a central part of their defense. The energy around the program is contagious, and we can’t wait to get started.”
Mandrell echoed his brother’s sentiments, emphasizing the opportunity to contribute to a program on the rise.
“We’re looking forward to building something special at Virginia Tech,” Mandrell said. “Coach Pry and the staff have a plan in place for us, and we’re excited to be part of it. It just felt like the right fit for us both.”
The Desir twins, originally from Florida, were heavily courted by several top programs, with Florida State being seen as one of the favorites throughout the recruiting process. However, their recent visit to Virginia Tech, along with discussions with the coaching staff, ultimately swayed them to make the change.
Virginia Tech’s coaching staff, led by head coach Brent Pry, has been focusing on building a strong defense to complement the Hokies’ offense, and the addition of the Desir brothers is seen as a major coup. Their commitment is expected to give the Hokies a significant boost in their defensive line for years to come.
This shocking flip leaves Florida State fans stunned, as they were expecting the twins to be cornerstone pieces in their defense. However, the Seminoles are still in the mix for several other high-profile recruits, and head coach Mike Norvell will likely turn his attention to maintaining the momentum in recruiting to solidify the future of FSU football.
Virginia Tech fans are already buzzing about the potential of the Desir twins joining the Hokies, with the anticipation of them lining up together on the defensive line in 2024. This move also signals a renewed sense of optimism for the program, as they look to make strides in the competitive ACC.
