Defensive lineman Eric Vaulx Jr. has given his verbal commitment to Florida State.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Vaulx is a 6\u20192, 265-pound defensive lineman from Lake Cormorant (Mississippi). 247 Composite has him as a 3-star and the 439th best player in the nation (51st best DL, 14th best player in MS). I think there is a good chance Vaulx will finish as a blue-chip as long as he stays healthy his senior year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Vaulx had a very productive junior campaign, notching 75 tackles (18 for loss), six sacks, three fumble recoveries, a forced fumble, and three blocked kicks. Florida State got in on Vaulx early and Terrance Knighton managed to beat out fellow finalists Tennessee and Missouri as well as a dozen others who offered, including Oklahoma, Auburn, Colorado, Mississippi State, and Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">Vaulx becomes Florida State\u2019s seventh commitment in Tribe27.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Seminoles have been quiet on the recruiting trail but made some noise today as the first weekend&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":676859,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[11398,167416,399,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-676858","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-florida-state-football","tag-florida-state-football-recruiting","tag-football","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676858","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=676858"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/676858\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/676859"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=676858"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=676858"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=676858"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
