Chauncey Kennon, one of the top cornerbacks in the Class of 2026, committed to play for Florida State.
Kennon attends Booker High School in Sarasota, Fla., and grew up rooting for the Seminoles' football program. He called Florida State his dream school.
'It was a place that truly felt like home to me,' Kennon told 247Sports in an interview. 'There was nothing that went wrong. Everything was top-tier for me. My experience was A-1. So I feel like there was no debating where I was going to go. I knew the whole time.'
Kennon said he committed immediately after his official visit on June 13, but the announcement was made Sunday.
The 6-foot-1, 175-pounder is a five-star prospect ranked the No. 2 cornerback and No. 27 overall player in his high school class by 247Sports. The 247Sports composite has Kennon as a high four-star rated eighth at his position and 67th in the country.
Kennon had offers from Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Miami and other top programs.
