Four-star class of 2025 edge Javion Hilson has flipped from Alabama football to Florida State, per On3.

Hilson, who is tabbed as the No. 7 edge rusher and No. 6 prospect in his home state of Florida per 247Sports Composite, had committed to the Crimson Tide in December 2023.

He becomes the fourth player to decommit from Alabama in the past week since coach Nick Saban announced his retirement, behind five-stars Ryan Williams and Jaime Ffrench and four-star Mason Short.
