BREAKING NEWS: Twin Defensive Ends Darryll and Mandrell Desir Decommit from Florida State, Sign with Ohio State
In a stunning turn of events, twin defensive ends Darryll and Mandrell Desir have officially decommitted from Florida State University and committed to Ohio State, signaling a major shake-up in the recruiting world. The Desir twins, highly coveted for their athleticism and pass-rushing abilities, had initially pledged to the Seminoles earlier in their recruitment cycle. However, after extensive deliberation and visits to other programs, they ultimately chose the Buckeyes over other prominent schools, including Penn State, Nebraska, and several others.
The decision comes as a surprise to many, as Florida State had been a heavy favorite for the twins throughout their recruitment. Darryll and Mandrell, who are known for their explosive speed and ability to disrupt offenses, had been key targets for the Seminoles’ defensive line. However, Ohio State’s strong pitch, including their history of developing elite pass rushers and their ability to compete for national championships, ultimately proved irresistible.
“We’re excited about this new chapter with Ohio State,” said Mandrell Desir in an official statement. “The coaching staff, the culture, and the opportunities to succeed at the next level really stood out to us.” His brother, Darryll, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the program’s commitment to developing top-tier defensive players.
Ohio State, long known for its dominant defensive units, has made a strong push in the recruiting world under head coach Ryan Day. The addition of the Desir twins to the Buckeyes’ 2025 class significantly strengthens their defensive line depth, positioning them as a formidable force in the coming seasons.
As the Desir twins head to Ohio State, Florida State and the other schools in pursuit of the pair are left to regroup as they search for new defensive recruits to bolster their rosters.
