Florida State landed one of the nation’s top defensive ends Michael Barnett.

The four-star defensive end just spent three days at FSU and opted to commit to the Seminoles early Sunday afternoon.

“Because I like the staff,” Barnett first told 247Sports.com on Sunday afternoon. “They have my major (Broadcast Journalism). (Defensive ends) coach (Sal) Sunseri pushed me at camp. He taught me new things. He helped me with my footwork and reading blocks.”

â€¨The nation’s No. 11 stronside defensive end informed Jimbo Fisher of his decision moments ago.

“He was just really happy and excited,” Barnett said.

The No. 3 overall prospect in the state of South Carolina chose Florida State over offers from Clemson, North Carolina State, Florida, Virginia Tech, Alabama and many others.

“I just really like it there,” Barnett said. “I like how they play together as a team to achieve one common goal.”

As a junior, Barnett racked up 89 tackles with 31 tackles for loss and seven sacks.

“My strength is my size,” Barnett said. “I can easily put on more weight. Coach Sal is I only need to work on my hands and being less hesitant.”
