Four-star Florida State quarterback pledge Tramell Jones pulled his commitment from the Seminoles on Thursday morning, marking the sixth departure from Mike Norvell’s 2025 class amid the program’s 1-9 start this fall.
Jones, a 6-foot, 190-pound passer from Jacksonville, Florida, is ESPN’s ninth-ranked dual-threat quarterback prospect in the 2025 cycle. The decommitment by Jones, the longest-tenured member of Florida State’s 2025 class, arrives just days after Norvell fired three members of his coaching staff Sunday following the program’s 52-3 defeat at Notre Dame, headlined by the exit of offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Alex Atkins.
Jones’ move represents the latest blow to a Seminoles class that has taken a series of hits this fall as Florida State has followed its 13-1 showing in 2023 with a disastrous 2024 campaign. A previous linchpin in the program’s 2025 class, Jones follows ESPN 300 prospects Myron Charles, Javion Hilson, Malik Clark, Daylan McCutcheon and CJ Wiley among the top recruits who have left Norvell’s incoming class since the Seminoles’ Aug. 24 season opener. Jones’ exit leaves Florida State with 12 prospects left committed in 2025, including five ESPN 300 pledges led by five-star offensive tackle Solomon Thomas, ESPN’s No. 13 overall prospect in the 2025 cycle.
Florida State sat at No. 37 in ESPN’s class rankings in 2025 before Jones’ decommitment Thursday, with further movement expected out of the Seminoles’ class in the coming weeks.
With his recruitment reopened, Jones stands as one of the top uncommitted quarterbacks in the final weeks of the 2025 cycle. Florida has remained in contact this fall with Jones, a four-year starter at Mandarin High School, and sources within the Gators’ program are optimistic that Florida will ultimately land Jones in the final weeks of the cycle following the school’s decision to keep Billy Napier as head coach beyond 2024.
Florida is set to host a series of high-profile recruits when the Gators host LSU at 3:30 ET Saturday afternoon on ABC. Florida State is off in Week 12 before a Nov. 23 visit from Charleston Southern.
