In a shocking turn of events, Florida State Seminoles’ 5-star defensive end twins Darryll and Mandrell Desir have announced their intention to leave the program. The highly sought-after duo, ranked among the top defensive recruits in the country, have cited their desire for a fresh start as they explore new opportunities elsewhere.
In a statement shared on social media, the Desir twins thanked Florida State for their time with the program but expressed their intent to move on:
“We are forever grateful to Florida State for believing in us and giving us the chance to compete at the highest level. However, after much prayer and discussion, we have decided it’s in our best interest to seek a new path that aligns with our goals both on and off the field.”
The news comes as a surprise to Seminoles fans and coaches, as the twins were expected to play pivotal roles in the team’s defensive line in the upcoming season.
The Desir twins wasted no time in sharing their next steps, naming Texas Longhorns as their preferred destination.
“Texas is where we see ourselves thriving,” said Darryll. “Their coaching staff, facilities, and transition to the SEC make it the best fit for us.”
“We’re excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to join a program with such a strong vision,” added Mandrell.
Losing the Desir twins is a significant blow to Florida State, as they were cornerstones of the Seminoles’ 2025 recruiting class. Their departure raises questions about the program’s ability to retain top-tier talent and maintain its competitive edge in an increasingly crowded recruiting landscape.
If the Desir twins officially join Texas, it will mark a major win for the Longhorns, who continue to bolster their roster as they prepare for SEC competition. Their commitment would not only strengthen the defensive line but also elevate the program’s recruiting momentum on the national stage.
