The FSU Seminoles have suffered another decommitment in their 2027 recruiting class. Three-star athlete Dayon Cooper announced he was decommitting Sunday on social media. The news comes shortly after he officially visited the Tennessee Volunteers.

He was not committed to FSU for long, pledging to them on April 4. He is from South Pittsburgh, Tennessee, and FSU was recruiting him as a defensive back. He plays wide receiver, running back, and defensive back at the high school level and has recently expressed interest in starting his collegiate career on offense.

FSU was not nearly as receptive to that idea, while the in-state Volunteers seem to like the idea and are surging in his recruitment. He also officially visited the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Cooper is ranked as the No. 516 overall player and No. 32 athlete in the 247Sports composite. He is also the No. 22 player from Tennessee.

It is easy to see why Cooper wants to play on offense at the next level. He was named the Tennessee Division 1 A Mr. Football after catching 29 passes for 421 yards and 10 touchdowns, while also rushing for 421 yards and 5 more touchdowns.

He is the sixth decommitment that FSU has suffered in the 2027 recruiting cycle. They now have nine players committed, and three-star safety Jemari Foreman is the only defensive back.
