KJ Bolden’s Saturday night announcement of his college commitment left fan bases anxious to find out what school the nation’s top-ranked safety would pick.

Many thought it would be Georgia football or Auburn, but neither secured the five star's pledge.

Bolden committed to Florida State instead.

Auburn and new coach Hugh Freeze made a strong run at Bolden when he was on campus last weekend, but Bolden said he plans to become a Seminole.

His new Buford teammate, five-star quarterback and Georgia commitment Dylan Raiola, was in attendance for the announcement.

Bolden also considered Ohio State and Alabama.

It's a huge recruiting win for Florida State coach Mike Norvell. Bolden had considered Florida State his "dream school and it was the first to offer him in July of 2020, according to Noles247.

Georgia’s No. 1 ranked recruiting class is still loaded with 26 prospects, including three five-stars of its own and nine top 100 ranked players in the 247Sports Composite.

The class includes four-star safety Peyton Woodyard from California.

A lot can change in the months before signing day in December, but for now at least Bolden is in the Seminole camp.
