The Florida State Seminoles are still building their linebacker board in the 2028 recruiting cycle, but it has already taken a hit.
They extended a scholarship offer to Ryquan Butler in June after he impressed at their Seminole Showcase Camp. At the time, he was an uncommitted prospect, but that has changed with him committing to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Tuesday.
Butler is from Notasulga, Alabama, and is currently unranked, but that will likely be changing. In addition to FSU and Alabama, the Tennessee Volunteers, Ole Miss Rebels, and Auburn Tigers have also offered the 6-foot-3, 205-pounder.
While it will likely be tough to pull him away from the in-state program, the Seminoles have plenty of time to try and pull off the flip, something they have had success doing under Mike Norvell. Butler is the only one of the 15 linebackers that FSU has offered in the 2028 recruiting cycle to commit, giving Ernie Sims plenty of time to make a move with their remaining targets.
Butler had a breakout sophomore season at Loachapoka High School, helping them go 8-4 and playing all over the field. On defense, he recorded 54 tackles, 6.0 tackles for loss, one interception, and two fumble recoveries, one of which he returned for a touchdown. He also caught seven passes for 126 yards and four touchdowns and returned a punt for a touchdown.
