Florida State lands four-star wide receiver who was an Alabama target

Florida State's 2016 class picked up a very big get on Friday evening. Four-star wide receiver Keith Gavin (6-foot-3, 211 pounds, Crawfordville, Fl.) announced that he was verbally committing to the 'Noles via his Twitter account. Gavin picked Florida State over Alabama. Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin visited Gavin as recently as Tuesday, following his Jan. 22 visit to Florida State. It appears it wasn't enough though, as Gaines went with FSU on Friday evening.

Per 247Sports, Gavin is the No. 17 ranked wide receiver in the 2017 class. The news comes after fullback Gabe Nabers verbally committed to Florida State, flipping from USF.
