Florida State University's football team celebrates a significant recruiting victory with Javion Hilson, a highly touted pass rusher from Cocoa, Florida, joining the class.
Hilson, originally committed to Alabama, decided to join the Seminoles, enhancing FSU's early 2025 recruiting class.
Rated as the nation's No. 4 edge and No. 46 prospect overall by 247Sports, Hilson's high school career boasts impressive stats, including 94 tackles, 27 for loss, 14 sacks, and three forced fumbles.
Hilson's commitment is a testament to FSU's appealing program, as he chose the Seminoles over other prominent universities.
His coach, Ryan Schneider, praises his exceptional work ethic and drive, which are matched by his athletic prowess.
Hilson is not just a pass rusher but also excels in run defense, demonstrating versatility and commitment.
His ability to impact the game both in practice and on Fridays is noted by Schneider, who remarks on Hilson's consistent pressure on quarterbacks.
Andrew Ivins, 247Sports Director of Scouting, notes Hilson's intriguing edge potential, athleticism, and long-term growth potential.
Ivins views him as a strong run defender with promising versatility and the ability to make a significant impact at the high-major level, even suggesting NFL Draft potential.
