Florida State lands commitment from 4-star RB Byron Louis

Florida State gets some much-needed good news on the recruiting trail Saturday night by getting a commitment from four-star running back Byron Louis. The American Heritage standout chose the Seminoles over Wisconsin, Miami and Georgia.

According to the On3 Industry Ranking, the 5-foot-10, 205-pound recruit is a top-300 player in the country, as well as a top-20 running back in the 2025 class.

At the start of Louis’ recruitment, Florida State was not a huge factor. However, once he saw former players from his high school — including Marvin Jones Jr. and Earl Little Jr. — join the Seminoles through the transfer portal, it caught his attention. And the rest was history.

Louis already had a strong relationship with Florida State defensive backs coach Patrick Surtain from Surtain’s time as head coach at American Heritage, and he developed a close bond with FSU running backs coach David Johnson as well.

Louis talked to Warchant about his relationship with Johnson back in August.

“It’s really the coaching staff, and the people at Florida State,” Louis said. “It’s rare to find genuine coaches that genuinely want to check in on you to see how you are, Instead of them just doing their job and recruiting you, actually wanting to get to know you really personally and build that relationship. So I feel like that’s something that always stands out.”

Louis is the second player from American Heritage to commit to Florida State in the 2025 class. The first was four-star defensive back Greg “ZAE” Thomas, who made his pledge during the summer.
