Florida State lands its fastest recruit in an already talented rich class.
Florida State is set to land a lighting bolt of a recruit as national signing day is just around the corner. Boone High’s Marvin Bracy is head coach Jimbo Fisher’s speedy prize recruit. On Sunday, the Orlando native showed off his quickness by setting a new indoor world record during the Jimmy Carnes Youth Invitational in the 55-meter sprint running a blistering 6.08-second finish. In football terms, that’s equivalent to 60.15 yards.
Marvin Bracy is looking to take home the gold in London 2012.
The 5’9” 168-pound wide receiver turned down the likes of Alabama, Notre Dame and Oklahoma to stay in-state. Last year, Florida State amassed one of the top recruiting classes in the nation, this year, with the signing of Marvin Bracy, Florida State will have another gem of a recruiting class. “My biggest strength is my speed. I’m elusive and hard to take down. Guys can’t get hold of me. I’m just an all-around speed guy and can get through holes quickly,” states Bracy.
With Bracy’s uncanny speed, there is no doubt he will make an immediate impact on the field. Additionally, Bracy is gunning for a spot on the 2012 US Track and Field team for the London games.
