Florida State's coaching staff celebrated its assembly of another formidable recruiting class, and top-rated wide receiver Dorial Green-Beckham committed to playing in his home state of Missouri in the early hours of national signing day Wednesday.

The Seminoles, considered by ESPNU recruiting analysts as having the third-best class at the start of the day, were bumped to No. 2 on the board, past Texas and below Alabama, after defensive tackle Eddie Goldman announced his commitment to FSU.

Goldman, the top-rated prospect at his position and No. 10 in the ESPNU 150, joined the Seminoles' class along with defensive end Mario Edwards, the No. 1 overall prospect in the ESPNU 150. Edwards and 6-foot-4 quarterback Jameis Winston (No. 14 in the ESPNU 150) committed early in the process.

"It was where I want to be," Goldman said in an interview with ESPN. "If I would have went anywhere else, I wouldn't have been happy."

The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Goldman, of Washington, D.C., also was considering Alabama, Auburn and Miami. Watching the ESPNU broadcast from Tallahassee, Florida State's staff erupted with glee when the five-star Under Armour All-American said he would be a Seminole.

"I knew we were in it the whole time," said coach Jimbo Fisher, who was widely considered to have the top-rated recruiting class of 2011.

Said Goldman: "It was pretty close. I thought I was going to Alabama ... I thought about it hard."
