2026 defensive back Sean Johnson flips from FSU to Maryland

Mike Norvell and the Florida State Seminoles lost another commitment from #Tribe26 today, as three-star defensive back Sean Johnson has flipped to the Maryland Terrapins.

Johnson, who originally committed to the Seminoles in April, is a Maryland native. He’s considered the No. 46 defensive back in the country according to the 247Sports Composite.

The Seminoles now have three defensive backs in their 2026 recruiting class — Chauncey Kennon, Jordan Crutchfield and Darryl Bell III.
