Marquis Fennell, a three-star running back for 2027, has committed to the Stanford Cardinal, opting for them over Florida State. Fennell was previously seen as a strong candidate for the Seminoles, who had momentum in his recruitment. He posted impressive stats in high school, including 1,480 rushing yards and 764 receiving yards in a season. Florida State continues to recruit, recently landing linebacker CJ Ohuabunwa and defensive lineman Sam LeJeune, but losing Fennell is a setback. The Seminoles are now focusing on four-star safety Ta'Shawn Poole's upcoming decision.
