BREAKING NEWS: Twin Defensive Ends Darryll and Mandrell Desir Decommit from Florida State,
Sign with Texas A&M Aggies Over Penn State, Nebraska, and More
In a stunning twist to the recruiting season, twin defensive ends Darryll and Mandrell Desir have decommitted from
Florida State University and officially signed with Texas A&M University. The move, which sent shockwaves through
the college football world, sees the highly coveted prospects choosing the Aggies over several other prestigious
programs, including Penn State, Nebraska, and Florida State itself.
The Desir twins, hailing from North Florida, have long been considered two of the most promising defensive line
recruits in the 2024 class. Standing at 6’4” and 265 pounds each, both players possess the combination of size,
athleticism, and speed that has made them a nightmare for high school offenses. Their ability to rush the passer and
dominate the line of scrimmage has earned them five-star status and recognition as two of the most elite defensive
prospects in the country.
Florida State had been seen as the front-runner for the twins’ commitment for nearly a year. They had verbally
committed to the Seminoles back in 2023, seemingly solidifying a future in Tallahassee. However, throughout the
recruiting process, multiple schools, including Texas A&M, continued to aggressively recruit the duo, offering a mix
of top-tier facilities, coaching staffs, and opportunities to play in the SEC. It was clear that the Desir twins were
taking their recruitment seriously, and their eventual decommitment from Florida State came as a surprise to many
in the recruiting world.
While many had speculated that Penn State or Nebraska might emerge as serious contenders, the Aggies proved to
be the most persuasive in the final stages of the process. Texas A&M, under head coach Jimbo Fisher, has developed
a reputation for its relentless recruiting efforts and ability to bring in top-tier talent. The Aggies’ strong defense,
combined with the allure of competing in the SEC, became too much for the Desir twins to pass up.
In a statement released by the Desir family, Darryll and Mandrell both expressed their excitement about the new
chapter in their football careers. “After a lot of thought and reflection, we’ve decided that Texas A&M is the best place
for us to grow as players and as people,” said Mandrell Desir. “We’re excited to join a program with such a rich
history and a coaching staff that believes in us.”
Darryll Desir added, “The decision wasn’t easy, but we felt that A&M’s environment, the level of competition in the
SEC, and the relationships we built with Coach Fisher and the staff were what we needed to take our game to the
next level. We’re ready to get to work.”
For Texas A&M, landing the Desir twins is a significant victory. The Aggies have long been chasing a breakthrough
on the defensive side of the ball, and adding two impact players of this caliber will only enhance their defensive front.
The twins will likely see early playing time as part of a defense that is expected to be one of the most formidable in
college football in the coming seasons.
Florida State, while disappointed by the loss, will now look to pivot and focus on other defensive prospects to fill the
gap left by the Desir twins. The Seminoles, who had enjoyed strong recruiting success in recent years, will need to
regroup as they aim to continue building one of the top programs in the ACC.
As for Penn State and Nebraska, both programs will continue to focus on their respective recruiting efforts, but
losing out on the Desir twins is a significant blow. Both schools have had strong recruiting classes and will now look
to add more defensive talent to their rosters.
The signing of Darryll and Mandrell Desir marks the latest chapter in a thrilling college football recruiting season
and will no doubt have a lasting impact on both Texas A&M and the programs that were left behind. With the twins
now officially committed to the Aggies, all eyes will be on their development as they look to make an immediate
impact in the SEC.
