| 0:00.0 | Florida State not having to wait very long for its first commitment of this January transfer portal window. |
| 0:08.1 | Nick Carlisle here with Matt Lassar. |
| 0:09.6 | You've seen a lot of us today. |
| 0:10.8 | It's a busy time here at WarChane and Warchant TV. |
| 0:14.4 | Matt Lassar, South Alabama quarterback Nehemiah Chandler committing to the Florida State coaching staff on his visit today on |
| 0:22.0 | campus. |
| 0:23.2 | Got the word right after he got into the big rented car that they all have to drive recruits to and fro. |
| 0:32.0 | The importance of this commitment for Florida State, Matt Lassayer, what say you? |
| 0:36.0 | Depth of the DB room, that was something that's needed, right? With losing guys like Kai Bates and stuff, you know, he is good. I know you're the one who talked to him on the bench. I had to go take pictures of the freshmen coming on the basketball court at halftime of the Duke game. This one moved really, really fast. And it's not really surprised, considering it's a local kid. He probably grew up a Seminoles fan. It's probably not too far-fetched.

| 1:32.9 | talking about how he felt like him and Gibral would be a good team as they have similar |
| 1:37.4 | skill sets and similar abilities said that the coaching staff pitched him on that and also being |
| 1:42.3 | able to approve his tackle ability, something that he specifically mentioned in the interview. |
| 1:46.2 | But as you say, very similar language in terms of saying, yeah, I'm a local kid. |
| 1:51.1 | I really could have envisioned myself being in the garden of the goal that I'm excited for the |

| 1:55.9 | That probably could have given it away right there that he was close to a commitment. |
