The Glades Central quarterback, who committed to FSU in August, told CBSSports.com in a story posted Sunday that Seminoles coaches and players “really made me feel like I am at home.”
He was hosted on his official visit by FSU quarterback Deondre Francois, who helped lead the Seminoles to an Orange Bowl win over Michigan last month.
“I had a great time hanging out with the players, the coaches,” Blackman said. “Having dinner. Just visiting the campus and seeing what everything looks like. I really loved it. I had a tons of fun and had a great time.”
On Monday, Blackman shut down his recruiting and announced his intention via Twitter to enroll at FSU.
