🙏 Arrests Made in Pritchard Shooting 🙏

🔥 Key Details

• Arrested: Jayden Bodison, Caron Miller, Germany Atkins, plus one juvenile.

• Charges: Three counts of attempted murder + one count of shooting into an occupied vehicle.

• Motive: Retaliation for a separate shooting; Pritchard’s vehicle resembled one tied to that case.

🚨 What Happened
Pritchard was ambushed Aug. 31 in Havana, Fla., while driving his aunt and a 3-year-old child after a family cookout. Neither passenger was harmed. Authorities stressed: “Ethan was not doing anything wrong.”

🎯 Target List Shuffle: New Top Priorities 🎯

Noles247 updated Florida State’s recruiting board this week, moving several prospects up or down the list as the staff zeroes in on its most realistic and high-value targets.

📈 Moving Up

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edge Kamron Wilson (Syracuse commit) → From High Choice → Top Target. Set for an in-season visit to Tallahassee, keeping strong ties with FSU staff.

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edge Chris Carbin (GT commit) → From High Choice → Top Target. Attended the Alabama upset and returns for an official visit vs. Miami.

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ RB Derrek Cooper (Texas commit) → New → Top Target. The No. 2 RB in 2026 is heating up with FSU and will visit for Miami. A legitimate flip watch.

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edge Damaad Lewis → From Interested → High Choice. Recent offer who’s had productive talks with the staff; visit in the works.

📉 Moving Down

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edge Elijah Satchell (NC State commit) → From Top Target → High Choice. Buzz has cooled on him visiting Tallahassee.

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edge Gustaf Henriks Ras → From Top Target → High Choice. Still expected for an OV vs. Miami, but less momentum than Wilson or Carbin.

• ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Edge DeAnthony Lafayette (LSU commit) → From Top Target → High Choice. Communication continues, but no visit expected this fall.

🌟 Why It Matters
The updated board reflects where FSU is gaining traction — especially with Derrek Cooper, whose flip from Texas would be a headline grab. Edge recruiting remains fluid, but the Noles are clearly positioning themselves for Miami weekend to be a massive pivot point.
