Recruiting Fireworks: 4-star receiver Elijah Moore commits to FSU football over Ohio State
Florida State football added another playmaker to its 2024 class and beat out a top-tier program in the process with the addition of 4-star receiver Elijah Moore.
Moore, a 6-foot-4, 190-pounder from Maryland, committed to the Seminoles over Ohio State Tuesday.
Moore, who attends Good Counsel High in Olney, Maryland, announced his decision on Instagram Live.
The No. 64 wide receiver and the 432nd ranked prospect in the 2024 class, according to 247 Sports Composite rankings, committed following an official visit to Tallahassee June 16-18.
Moore had been seen as a heavy-Ohio State lean following an official visit to Columbus, Ohio, June 2.

However, FSU head coach Mike Norvell and his staff hit it out of the park with the visit, earning the commitment.
“It's all about worth ethic and wanting to be successful,” Moore said of his fit at FSU following the visit. “If you work, you're going to be successful. I feel like, if they want to give me the ball, they're going to give me the ball. If we want to win championships, we're going to win championships."
He is the 14th member of the 2024 Class that also includes 5-star tight end Laden Thomas and 4-star quarterback Luke Kromenhoek.
Moore is the third receiver in the class, joining 4-star receivers Tawaski Abrams and Camdon Frier, the son of former FSU receiver Matt Frier.
The Seminoles added 4-star athlete Ricky Knight III and 4-star defensive lineman DD Holmes to their class Saturday.
They continued their recent hot streak with the addition of Moore.
FSU is expected to pick up a commitment from 3-star safety Rydarrius Morgan at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, 4-star tight end Kylan Fox committed to Georgia Tech over FSU and 4-star receiver James Madison choose Missouri over the Seminoles.
Both were seen as FSU leans going into their official visits June 23-25.
Four Seminole targets to announce commitments on the Fourth of July. Here's where FSU stands.
