2026 Jasen “JRoc” Lopez 4* WR from Chaminade via True North commits to Noles [Football Thread]

This was always going to be a challenging recruitment for Mario. The hardest part was probably convincing Lucas to offer, which surprisingly he did.

This seems to be like an emotional decision on his part. He’s probably salty he got a late basketball offer. I mean it’s obvious the offer was forced too

My read (and this is my personal opinion) is that his camp was upset about Spafford and feels he has a better opportunity to play both sports at FSU. It’s a bummer because I think he’s a great player.

First, he didn’t choose NC State because they weren’t taking him seriously as a basketball recruit. Lol. I don’t think you guys realize how hard it is to get a P5 scholarship in basketball and to just hand one to a kid because the football team really wants him is a lot to ask of the bball coach. He’s got a family to feed too just like the football coach. Lopez is really good at basketball. But tell him to completely drop football and see how many basketball offers he gets. **** see if UM would even honor the bball scholarship offer! Lol. Lucas would snatch that thing back so fast.

I like this kid but he saw the writing on the wall and I respect him for having some pride and realizing he was probably slow played a little by UM in the process. I never got the feeling he was a “has a spot no matter what” type recruit at WR and I think he felt that. Jmo. Like one post said, highly doubt he sticks with FSU in the end. Hes too good on the gridiron to play for those bums.
