FSU football lost another prized recruit to Nick Saban Thursday afternoon. Fans and players react to the news we knew would happen.

FSU football recruiting has gained some momentum on the trails over the past week or so. However, nothing can equate to the behemoth that is Alabama football while Nick Saban is there.

The 2017 class took a hit when composite four-star safety Daniel Wright flipped his commitment from the ‘Noles to the Tide.

FSU football now stands at 13 commits and ranked No. 13 nationally, falling three spots in the composite rankings. They now have the No. 3 recruiting class in the ACC, but No. 2 average per player rating just behind Clemson.

Check out some of the reaction on Twitter from Thursday:
