Summary

Keldric Faulk was down to four schools, including Florida State. But his decision was kept well under wraps, with his mom not even knowing what the four-star defensive end was going to do a day before his announcement.

On The Benchers Brendan Sonnone and Dane Draper drove to Highland Home, an unincorporated community in rural Alabama, with the hopes of covering an FSU commitment.

Would that gamble pay off?

Yes, you already know that Faulk picked FSU over Auburn, Florida, and Clemson.

But the end of the journey isn't the focus of this episode. Rather, it's the journey and the exploration of the unknown.

commitment. You know when you're exiting a parking garage or parking lot and

2:07.5

there's those spikes with the warning that say do not back over or your tires will

be punctured. They won't ever try to back up and see what would happen. I feel like
