The early signing period, particularly the first day is an exciting day for high school football prospects as they get to sign with their college of choice.
But the day is also exciting for coaches. FSU quarterbacks coach Tony Tokarz could not stop smiling when he talked to local media Wednesday after the Seminoles announced their 2024 recruiting class.
Tokarz was excited about the quarterback signing, Luke Kromenhoek, from Benedictine Military School in Savannah, Georgia.
“I’m just really excited to get [him on campus],” Tokarz said with a huge grin on his face. “I know mama will be a little sad to see him go. But it’ll be fun. The kid is phenomenal, a great character. It’ll be fun.”
Kromenhoek has been committed to FSU since March 26, 2022. Since committing, he has made at least 15 trips to Tallahassee and just one to another school [Penn State on April 7), even while offers from other schools continued to pour in and he rose in recruiting rankings.
Suffice it to say, Kromenhoek is ready to get on campus. He is expected to join the team for Orange Bowl practices, as No. 5 FSU (13-0) takes on No. 6 Georgia (12-1) at 4 p.m. Dec. 30 in Miami Gardens.
“He was pretty excited,” Tokarz said of Kromenhoek’s mood on the first day of the early signing period.
“He called me [Tuesday] night to ask questions. Then [Wednesday], I’m just so happy for him. It’s a moment, an experience he’s never going to forget.
“But his mindset is amazing, he’s already ready to get to work.”
