Nixa (Mo.) kicker Logan Tyler, the nation's No. 1 kicker according to Kohl's Kicking, committed to Florida State following his participation in their specialists camp on Saturday.



Tyler is also considered the No. 6 punter in the nation by Kohl's Kicking.

The 6-foot, 203-pound kicker knew he would commit if offered.

"I had talked to my parents a while ago about how if I got an offer from Florida State that I would commit then and there," Tyler said.

That is pretty much how it went down. Tyler participated in the specialists camp during the early part of Saturday.

"I just came out and wanted to show what I am capable of. I had a good camp," Tyler said. "I had the longest kickoff of the day. I showcased my leg, my hips and everything."

He impressed the coaching staff.

"After camp, Coach (Jay) Graham got me and my parents and took me up to Coach Fisher's office," Tyler said. "(Fisher) was talking to me about my potential and ability to do all three - kickoffs, field goals and punting.

"He offered me a full scholarship then," Tyler added. "I shook his hand and committed."

Tyler isn't sure if FSU will use him as a field goal kicker, punter and for kickoffs, or have him just focus on one specialty. He said Fisher simply stated all three positions will have competition.

As a junior, he was 11-for-16 on field goals, 38-of-39 on extra points and 50 of his 68 kickoffs went for touchbacks. He also averaged 44.5 yards per punt.

Saturday marked Tyler's third visit to FSU in the past several months. He saw the campus back around the New Year when FSU Was in Pasadena. He also visited during spring football and said that is when he knew interest from FSU was legitimate.

Tyler also had offers from Air Force, Army, Central Arkansas and Illinois.
