Rosendo Louis, a three star linebacker and former Florida State commit shocked the entire Southeast this morning when he announced that he was jumping ship and pledging his allegiance to the South Carolina Gamecocks. Given the recent firing of Head Coach Jimbo Fisher, it was expected that some of FSU’s recruits would turn towards more stable options… But Louis decided to make a spectacle out of the situation with an all time troll job.
Rosendo Louis is wearing an #FSU #Noles shirt ahead of signing ceremony at Deerfield Beach. Big question here is whether he sticks with #Noles commitment or flips to South Carolina after weekend visit.

Louis had been with Coach Muschamp in Columbia over the weekend, so rumors had been circulating that the young linebacker was set on flipping programs. However, Louis gave Noles fans hope when he showed up to the early commitment ceremony rocking an FSU shirt. But when it came down to crunch time, the young man from Deerfield Beach devastated the FSU fan base and made it known to the world that he would be joining Coach Boom and the South Carolina Gamecocks next year.

He botched it at first saying “South Florida” in a pretty comical moment at the ceremony.

Ok Furones we get it…He accidentally said South Florida, but we all know what he meant! He was probably just nervous to be announcing a commitment to such an esteemed program. But in all honesty, FSU coaches had to see this one coming. The deal was all but sealed when Rosendo made his decision to take a weekend visit to Columbia. Letting an All-American Linebacker spend the weekend in Cola Town with Coach Boom and not expecting him to flip programs is like sending your girlfriend on a date with Tom Brady and expecting her not to cheat. Louis’s decision to flip to South Carolina is a true testament to the recruiting efforts of Coach Muschamp and company, who have been pulling out all the stops to produce an above average recruiting class for the coming year.
