The FSU Seminoles have missed out on another running back target, with four-star prospect Brayden Tyson committing to South Carolina.

The Florida State Seminoles have missed on another key running back target, with four-star prospect Brayden Tyson committed to the South Carolina Gamecocks on Friday. FSU was a finalist for Tyson, who was also considering the Miami Hurricanes, Purdue Boilermakers, and Rutgers Scarlet Knights. He visited FSU three times this year before committing to South Carolina, attending a Junior Day event in March and multiple spring practices.

Tyson is ranked as the No. 357 overall player and No. 23 athlete in the 247Sports composite.

The Snellville product is also the No. 38 player from Georgia. He had a strong junior season at Brockwood High School, rushing for 1,292 yards and 16 touchdowns on 163 carries.

While it was a great performance, it had nothing on his sophomore campaign. He finished his breakout season with 2,123 yards and 26 touchdowns, averaging 10. 2 yards per carry.
