Paul on his commitment to Florida State

Collin Paul discussed his commitment to Florida State with Rivals.

“I chose Florida State for its vibrant culture and energetic atmosphere. During my recruitment, the staff was consistently supportive, and their playing style aligns with mine. I believe they will help me best achieve my dreams of playing in the NBA.”

What led to his trust in the new staff?

“I trust the coaching staff completely because of their NBA experience and qualifications. I believe they will help me reach the NBA and develop me as a player.”

In his own words, what type of player is Florida State getting in Paul?

“I describe my playstyle as versatile. I can do anything on the court, whether it’s dribble, pass, or shoot. I can play any position, guard 1-5, and score whenever and however I want. I’m just a dog.”

He has a message for FSU fans.

“Y’all getting a killer. Let’s go Noles.”

Paul is the third player to commit to Florida State in the 2026 class. He joins four-star C Marcis Ponder and dual-sport athlete Jasen Lopez. The ‘Noles are still after several recruits including four-star SF Gage Mayfield, four-star SF Kevin Thomas, four-star PF Joe Philon, four-star SF Alex Egbuno, and four-star PF Jalan Wingfield.
