4-star DB Jay Timmons Flips from Florida State to Ohio State
Four-star cornerback Jay Timmons has officially changed his college commitment from Florida State to Ohio State, announcing the decision on social media. The move follows his official visit to Columbus over the weekend, where he met with the Ohio State coaching staff and explored the campus.
Timmons originally committed to Florida State in June after switching from an earlier pledge to Indiana. He is the son of former FSU linebacker Lawrence Timmons, who played for the Seminoles in the early 2000s.
247Sports ranks Timmons as the No. 23 cornerback nationally in the 2026 recruiting class.
With this change, Florida State now holds three defensive back commitments for 2026: five-star cornerback Chauncey Kennon and three-star safeties Sean Johnson and Darryl Bell III. Earlier this week, three-star safety Tedarius Hughes also flipped from FSU to Syracuse.
