FSU Football commit Zae Thomas keeping options open despite chance to make Seminole History

Florida State has one of the most illustrious and rich histories in all of college football.

And Gregory ‘Zae’ Thomas is set to add to that history as the first member of the Seminole Tribe to play football on scholarship for the Seminoles.

But he’ll have actually make it to Tallahassee to etch his name in the record books, and as Mike Norvell’s 2025 class stands now, Thomas may decommit before then.

American Heritage Patriots defensive back Xavier Thomas (2) guards a Naples Golden Eagles receiver during the third quarter of a game at Staver Field in Naples on Friday, Sept. 13, 2024.

Four-star defensive lineman Myron Charles flipped to Texas last week, and the No. 1 EDGE in the state Javion Hilson decommited one day later.
