ATLANTA — Derrick McLendon is competing at the Rivals 100 Five-Star Challenge presented by adidas inside Mercedes Benz Stadium on Thursday, but that is not all he did.
The 6-foot-4, 225 pound four-star defensive end out of Tucker (Ga.) announced his commitment to Florida State live from the event as well.
Watch his decision here:
He narrowed his list down to Florida, Florida State and NC State a few weeks ago.
