Denton Ryan junior
Mario Edwards, a 6-4, 275-pound defensive end who might be the state's top recruit in the Class of 2012, orally committed to Florida State last week. Edwards, a fierce pass rusher, is the son of former Florida State cornerback Mario Edwards, who played at Florida State from 1995-99 and then played in the NFL.
"Coming into the trip, it was just a visit to see exactly what they would have me doing," Edwards Jr. told the Tallahassee Democrat. "Everything felt right, so I just went ahead and committed."
