The state of Florida has just received a big boost through 5 star recruit Sam McCall.
McCall, who is ranked No. 5 athlete and No. 35 player in the country in the 2022 class in the 247Sports composite ranking, announced his commitment to the Seminoles on Sunday.
The Lakeland, Florida native was originally committed to Florida, but he reopened its recruitment on January 1st.
A true two-way player, McCall had 18 tackles and four interceptions, as well as 52 receptions for 903 yards and 10 touchdowns as a junior last fall. The 6’0 “180 pound player helped his team to a state playoff in an 11-2 season.
According to Andrew Ivins of 247Sports, McCall has the curriculum to play on the defensive back, cornerback or safety at the high school level:
“He does a good job of feeling the routes around him and is able to take advantage of the mistakes that the defenders make. Excellent ball skills also result in takeaways. Softens the backpedal with the ability to plant and drive. Speed is not lacking. of the foot anyway. It can mirror the opponent’s pass catchers, although man-covering techniques are still being developed. Willing forward, but that’s another area of his game that he can improve on. “
In addition to FSU and Florida, McCall received offers from 12 other programs, including Alabama, South Carolina and Penn State.
