College Station, TX – In a stunning turn of events, 5-star Safety Shyheim Brown has decommitted from Florida State University and flipped his commitment to Texas A&M. Considered the nation’s top safety prospect in the 2025 recruiting class.
Brown, a hard-hitting and versatile defender from Pembroke Pines, Florida, had been committed to FSU since June. However, after taking official visits to Texas A&M, Michigan, and Georgia, he ultimately chose the Aggies, citing their strong defensive tradition and the opportunity to play a key role in their rebuilding efforts.
“It was a tough decision, but in the end, Texas A&M felt like the best fit for me,” Brown said in a statement. “I love the coaches, the players, and the atmosphere. I believe I can make a big impact at A&M and help them get back to competing for championships.”
Brown’s commitment is a major coup for Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher, who has been working hard to rebuild the Aggies’ program after a disappointing 2022 season. Brown is the second 5-star recruit to commit to A&M in the 2025 class, joining wide receiver Rueben Owens.
“We are thrilled to have Shyheim join the Aggie family,” Elko said. “He is an elite talent with a tremendous upside. He is a physical and instinctive player who will make an immediate impact on our defense.”
Brown’s commitment is also a significant blow to Florida State, which had been hoping to build momentum in its recruiting efforts under new head coach Mike Norvell. The Seminoles will now have to work hard to replace Brown, who was expected to be a key contributor to their defense.
“We respect Shyheim’s decision and wish him the best,” Norvell said in a statement. “We will continue to work hard to build a championship-caliber program at Florida State.”
Brown’s commitment is a major victory for Texas A&M, which is now one of the top programs in the country in the 2025 recruiting class. The Aggies are expected to be a major player in the SEC in the coming years, and Brown’s commitment is a sign that they are serious about returning to the top of the college football world.
