Celebrity tale

A surprise on the recruiting trail is nice every now and then, especially with Florida State picking up momentum in its 2025 class as the summer progresses. On Tuesday afternoon, four-star wide receiver CJ Wiley announced his decision between Florida State, Georgia, and LSU. After exploring his options throughout June, Wiley shocked the masses by choosing the Seminoles over the in-state Bulldogs. He’s the second pledge for the program in two days.

Florida State, who hosted Wiley for an official visit over the weekend, received the final opportunity to confront him, so this is a pleasant surprise. He’s the first wide receiver to officially join #Tribe25, showing off his strength in opposition to Kirby Smart under head coach Mike Norvell.

Wiley just finished a successful junior year at Milton High School, where he caught 68 passes for 1,473 yards and 14 touchdowns. After defeating Walton High School 13-2, the squad won the Georgia 7A State Championship.

According to 247Sports, the 6-foot-4, 195-pound wide receiver is rated as the No. 136 overall prospect, the No. 15 wide receiver, and the No. 19 recruit in Georgia for the 2025 class.

Three-star Joshua Moore, four-star Vernell Brown, four-star Daylan McCutcheon, four-star Malik Clark, four-star Dallas Wilson (Oregon), and five-star Kaliq Lockett are some other wide receivers in the class to be aware of.

To start the week, top-100 defensive lineman Kevin Wynn committed to the Seminoles as well. They have six pledges in #Tribe25, which is now ranked 63rd in the nation and will continue to grow.
