Another day, another commit for Florida State football.
On Tuesday night, four-star defensive back Jay Timmons announced that he has flipped his commitment from Indiana to FSU, as he confirmed on his social media page. Timmons is the son of former FSU and NFL linebacker Lawrence Timmons.

Timmons has been an Indiana commit since April. FSU recently got on his radar earlier this month at its elite camp and offered the 5-foot-11, 185-pound cornerback native on the spot.
Timmons is from Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, just less than half an hour from Pittsburgh, where his dad played for the Pittsburgh Steelers for 10 years and is a member of the 2008 Super Bowl champion team.
According to 247 Sports, Timmons is ranked No. 32 cornerback in its composite ranking and No. 13 in his home state. At Pine Richland High School, he played both ways as a cornerback and wide receiver as a junior.
On defense, he recorded 42 tackles, 10 pass deflections, four interceptions and three forced fumbles. As a receiver, he caught 40 catches for 755 yards and eight touchdowns.

Timmons is the 18th player to pledge for FSU in the 2026 class. FSU continues to build its momentum after landing four four-star prospects in the last three days. With 12 total four-star players, FSU leaped to No. 9 in 247 Sports' team rankings.
