His decision to choose Florida State over several top-tier programs, including Kansas, Georgia, LSU, Notre Dame, and North Carolina, has created a buzz in the college football recruiting world.
Goldenโs decision comes after a highly competitive recruitment process, where he had been courted by some of the nation’s most prestigious college football programs.

Florida Stateโs coaching staff, led by head coach Mike Norvell, has been working tirelessly to build a championship-caliber defense, and Goldenโs commitment is a major step in that direction.

The commitment of Elijah Golden is a big win for Florida State, which continues to recruit at a high level under Norvellโs leadership. With Goldenโs addition, the Seminoles are poised to further strengthen their defense and compete at the highest level of college football in the seasons to come.
