Florida State<\/strong> has landed a commitment from South Carolina<\/strong> defensive line transfer Gilbert Edmond<\/b>. The coveted transfer announced the news of his pledge on his social media accounts moments ago.<\/p>\n

Edmond chose the Seminoles over other interested schools like Florida<\/strong><\/span>LSU <\/span><\/strong>and<\/span> <\/span>Ole Miss<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 6-foot-5, 250-pound pass rusher took an official visit to FSU on Wednesday and Thursday. He then traveled to Florida<\/strong> for a visit with the Gators on Thursday and Friday before making it to LSU later on Friday and into Saturday.<\/p>\n

In Edmond’s three years at South Carolina, he played in 21 games. The 2022 season – in which he played in all 12 regular season games – was by far his most productive as a Gamecock. He totaled 44 tackles, 9.5 TFLs and two sacks this past year.<\/p>\n

The future Seminoles played his high school football at Fort Pierce (Fla.) Westwood. As a prep prospect, he played defensive end as a senior after transitioning from wide receiver. Mike Norwell<\/b> and FSU were semi-involved with his high school recruitment. An official visit to Tallahassee in January of 2020 was in the works — but Edmond — a then USF commit — elected to flip his pledge to South Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 247Sports Transfer Portal Rankings, Edmond holds a grade of 92<\/em>. Horse No. 38 overall within those rankings, he’s the second best available player in the Transfer Portal right now.<\/p>\n

Edmond becomes FSU’s ninth transfer addition this cycle. He joins other top transfer additions like four-star DB Fentrell Cypress<\/b>DT Braden Flick<\/b> and TE Jaheim Bell<\/b>. The ‘Noles still sit as the No. 1 overall Transfer Portal recruiting class in the nation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
