(WCTV) &#8211; Thursday marked a huge moment for the Robinson brothers. The Florida High grads are set to become Florida State Seminoles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">As of Thursday morning, Anthony, who\u2019s spent the last three years at Missouri, and his younger brother Amare, who played at Tallahassee State last year, committed to play at Florida State.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cAs first, I didn\u2019t even know how to react to be honest,\u201d Anthony said. \u201cBut we just froze through a little minute, looked at each other through the screen and was like, is this for real?\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Anthony entered the portal last week and received interest from several big programs. But, he said, when the opportunity presented itself in Tallahassee, it was a no-brainer to come home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">He said he wanted to be a part of what Head Coach Luke Loucks is building at Florida State, and when Amare was offered too? That took away any doubt.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI was there on Zoom supporting my brother, like always. I was starstruck in the moment, I can\u2019t lie to you. I was just grateful for the opportunity,\u201d Amare said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Amare helped lead TSC to a top ten national ranking this season, and he said he\u2019s ready to rejoin his brother and represent their hometown in garnet and gold together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWhen we first came to the gym on the visit, my parents started tearing up a little bit,\u201d Anthony said. \u201cI don\u2019t know if they want me to put that out there, but they started tearing up a little bit. Just seeing me and my brother with the jersey on just really meant a lot to them.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe talked about it, and now we have a chance to live it. Just want to make the best of it, spend our last year together. It\u2019s been a long time since we\u2019ve been together for a full year, so I\u2019m happy. Of course I\u2019m happy,\u201d Amare said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cJust bringing the tradition of Florida State basketball back to where it should be, just being a part of that, really couldn\u2019t turn it down, especially being from Tallahassee,\u201d Anthony said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTV.tv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wctvnews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@WCTVEyewitnessNews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nextdoor<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Have a news tip or see an error? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/2026\/04\/16\/florida-high-grads-anthony-amare-robinson-pledge-florida-state\/mailto:news@wctv.tv?subject=Correction%20Needed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Write to us here<\/a>.
