Four-Star Defensive Lineman Sam LeJeune Commits to Florida State

The Poplarville native chose the Seminoles over California and Washington after a highly publicized recruitment.

Commitment Announcement

Sam LeJeune, a four‑star defensive lineman from Poplarville, Mississippi, will reveal his college choice on June 24 at 6:30 p.m. ET, capping a recruitment that has drawn national attention.

The Poplarville native narrowed his options to the Florida State Seminoles, California Golden Bears and Washington Huskies, each of which he visited officially before deciding. Florida State has been particularly aggressive, hosting him on nine visits, including three this year, with his most recent trip arriving on June 12.

While the other contenders remain viable, analysts have consistently projected a commitment to the Seminoles, a prediction bolstered by the program’s recent defensive line commitments. The class already includes edge rusher Anthony Cavallar, a three‑star prospect who joins two other linemen slated for the 2027 cycle.

Program Outlook

Head coach Mike Norvell has been a central figure in the Seminoles’ pursuit, weaving personal visits and persistent communication into the recruitment strategy that ultimately swayed the highly rated prospect. LeJeune’s pledge adds immediate depth to Florida State’s defensive front and signals a strong recruiting momentum for the 2027 class, which could influence the team’s performance on the national stage.
