Florida State commit Ta'Shawn Poole remains committed following SMU home loss

Four-star safety recruit Ta'Shawn Poole attended Monday night’s game at Doak Campbell Stadium, where Florida State fell to SMU 27-24. The contest was delayed for an hour and 40 minutes due to a power outage caused by a transformer issue. Despite the loss and the defensive struggles that saw Florida State allow 585 yards, Poole reiterated his commitment to the program. The Seminoles' defense surrendered eight third-down conversions during the contest. Poole, the nation's No. 72 recruit, continues to draw interest from SEC programs including Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. He plans to return to Florida State for future games and maintains his commitment despite ongoing recruitment efforts from other schools.
