Sarasota (Fla.) Riverview four-star wide receiver Malachi Wideman committed to Florida State on Sunday.

Wideman contacted head coach Willie Taggart on Sunday evening to inform him of his intentions to be a Seminole.

“Me and my family felt that was a perfect opportunity for me to fulfill my life long dreams of playing at the next level,” Wideman told Zach Blostein of Noles247.com.

The 6-foot-4, 180-pound wideout chose the Seminoles over Auburn, Florida, UCF and several others. FSU was the overwhelming favorite on the 247Sports.com Crystal Ball before his announcement.

He was recruited to the Seminoles by area recruiter Raymond Woodie, along with wide receivers coach Ron Dugans.

Wideman visited the Seminoles for their annual spring game. He was accompanied on that visit by his mother and others. His mother also visited FSU, without her son, earlier in their spring season.

The spring game visit provided Wideman with a chance to see a glimpse of what FSU hopes their passing attack will be in 2019.

“That they’re not afraid to put the ball in the air and that they try to make aggressive plays down the field with their passing,” Wideman said after that visit.

After that visit, he added that 'I do have a very good feeling after leaving here, definitely another great experience.' For more from that prior visit, click here.

The 247Sports.com Composite Rankings consider Wideman the No. 173 prospect in the nation and No. 32 wide receiver in the 2020 class.

He is a standout two-sport athlete who also excels on the basketball court. He is expected to pursue both sports upon his arrival in Tallahassee.
