Thousand Oaks (CA) Westlake five-star quarterback Malik Henry committed to Florida State on Thursday. He chose the Seminoles over Notre Dame, UCLA and Ohio State.

"I would like to thank my parents, my coaches, my team and everybody who supported me," Henry said on the ESPNU broadcast. "I will be committing to Florida State."

He described what he was looking for in his future home.

"Somewhere where they have very strong academics, coaches, definitely a strong coaching staff, and also somewhere where I feel comfortable," Henry said. "I felt comfortable around Coach Jimbo Fisher. I think he is a great quarterbacks coach. He knows his stuff. Their offense is explosive. I really, I think I can see myself in their offense.

"The area of Tallahassee, I love the atmosphere and everything about it," Henry added. "I felt at home."

Henry shared a self-evaluation of what the 'Noles get in his commitment.

"Florida State is getting a guy who is going to work hard and be a great leader and a great teammate on and off the field," Henry said.

Henry indicated during the broadcast that he intends to participate in both football and baseball at Florida State. He has discussed and cleared those plans with the FSU coaching staff.

He is the fifth commit toward the 2016 class.

The 6-foot-3, 180-pound five-star has been FSU’s primary quarterback target for 2016 since the spring when the ‘Noles first evaluated him in person.

His primary recruiter was assistant coach Tim Brewster. Jimbo Fisher was also heavily involved and built a solid relationship with his family.

The 247Sports Composite ranks Henry has the no.1 pro-style quarterback and the 5th best player overall for the class of 2016.
