Put this down as the first loss of the season for Florida State …
Deion Sanders‘ top QB recruit son, Shedeur Sanders, announced Monday he’s committing to play football at FAU in 2021 … spurning his dad’s Seminoles in the process.
It’s pretty big news … Shedeur is considered one of the best high school QB prospects in the nation — and most had him pinned to follow in his dad’s footsteps in Tallahassee.
But, the 6’1″, 198-pound rising senior told ESPN this week he wanted to blaze his own trail in Florida … opting to play for Willie Taggart and the Owls instead.
“I wanted to write my own legacy, FAU gave me a opportunity to do that!” Shedeur said. “I trust the staff … Willie Taggart was the first coach to offer me a opportunity to play at the next level.”
Shedeur is a monster on the football field … in his junior season last year at Trinity Christian School in Texas, he threw for 3,477 yards and 47 TDs to just 4 INTs. He also rushed for 225 yards.
Of course, Shedeur has also gotten some tips from the greatest quarterback of all-time … he famously worked out with Tom Brady last month and said he “soaked” in all the GOAT knowledge.
Learning from the 🐐 soaking up all the knowledge💯 @TomBrady

By the way, this is the second Sanders kid who’s spurned an FSU offer … Shedeur’s older brother, Shilo Sanders, picked South Carolina over the ‘Noles just last year.
