No. 1 two-sport star  commits to Florida State over Miami and Georgia… what led to his shocking decision? Read more…

In a dramatic and unexpected recruiting twist, Jasen Lopez, the nation’s top-ranked two-sport athlete from Chaminade-Madonna Prep in Hollywood, Florida, has officially committed to the Florida State Seminoles—choosing FSU over high-profile contenders Miami, Georgia, and West Virginia.

Lopez, a four-star wide receiver and elite basketball guard, made his announcement on social media and during a live broadcast with family and teammates. His decision sent shockwaves across college football and basketball recruiting circles, as many insiders had projected the Miami Hurricanes to land the South Florida star, especially with their hometown connection.

“This wasn’t easy,” Lopez said during the commitment video. “I had love from everywhere—Miami, Georgia, even schools up north—but Florida State made me feel like family in both football and basketball. They believed in me fully, not just as a player, but as a person.”

Lopez becomes the second active two-sport athlete in Florida State’s recent history, following in the footsteps of B.J. Gibson. His commitment marks a major win for both Head Football Coach Mike Norvell and Basketball Coach Luke Loucks, who teamed up to recruit him with a clear message: FSU would allow him to thrive in both sports without forcing him to choose.

At 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds, Lopez is a lightning-fast receiver with elite hands, route-running, and a knack for explosive plays. On the basketball court, he’s a quick, agile combo guard who led Broward County in scoring and assists last season.

His stats are staggering. Last season in football, Lopez recorded 1,142 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. In basketball, he averaged 23.7 points, 6.5 assists, and 3 steals per game—earning him Broward County Player of the Year honors in both sports.

What made Florida State stand out?

“Coach Norvell and Coach Loucks both showed up to one of my basketball games. That said everything. They weren’t recruiting just a football player or a guard—they were recruiting me as a full athlete, and as a student,” Lopez said.

Social media exploded within minutes of the announcement. Former Seminoles like Derwin James, Dalvin Cook, and Charlie Ward—who also starred in multiple sports—offered praise. FSU fans welcomed Lopez with garnet-and-gold love across Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).

Lopez is expected to enroll early at Florida State and join both the football and basketball programs in 2026. His rare combination of athleticism, discipline, and leadership is already making him a fan favorite.

With this commitment, Florida State sends a loud message to the college sports world: Tallahassee is once again becoming a home for dynamic, game-changing athletes who want to do it all.

And Jasen Lopez just might be the face of that new era.
