This particular Florida State talent was once one of the top recruits Mike Norvell and company landed.
Florida State loaded up in both the trenches and defensive front seven Saturday. Yet are losing a past top recruit.
Let alone a talent representing the recent 2025 freshman class.
Pete Nakos of On3/Rivals revealed defensive tackle Kevin Wynn is exiting Tallahassee. This means the 'Noles lose their No. 1 overall recruit from the last class.
Wynn landed to FSU as a four-star talent and 247Sports' No. 9 overall defensive lineman. The 6-foot-2, 334-pounder was anticipated to impact the trenches right away. He even turned down 20 different scholarship offers for FSU.
Hudson Standish of 247Sports was one high on Wynn's potential in writing this prospect evaluation.
"A compact defensive lineman verified a shade under 6-foot-2, 320 pounds with heavy hands and outstanding reactionary athleticism for his size," Standish began. "Extremely twitchy athlete who fires off the ball with anticipation and can utilize his quick first step to beat opposing offensive linemen to their spots against the run or the pass."
Standish liked the "physical makeup" of the then- Seminoles commit.
"Wynn's physical makeup attracts plenty of double teams, which he can take on due to his anchoring strength to maintain gap integrity or quickly split the double to cause havoc in the backfield," he wrote. "Owns the tools to become much more than a traditional space eater or lane clogger on the inside."
Through all the raving, Standish saw an unfinished product.
"Will likely need time to hone technical nuance, particularly as a pass rusher but could provide immediate depth as a rotational two-down interior presence early in his career," Standish wrote. "One of the nation's top interior defensive prospects in the 2025 class at this stage of the evaluation process. Projects as a potential high-major impact player at one- or three-technique with the physical tools, on-field profile, and multi-sport athleticism that suggest a NFL Draft ceiling."
But now he'll aim to chase his league dreams elsewhere.
He played in only four games this past season, including 13 snaps against a Miami team now playing for the national title on Jan. 19.
Wynn will have four years left for his next school. His departure comes on a day the 'Noles landed JUCO linebacker Chris Thomas and offensive lineman Chimdia Nwaiwu.
