Florida State football recruiting: Penn State commit DB Conrad Hussey flips to Seminoles

Conrad Hussey, a defensive back from Fort Lauderdale's St. Thomas Aquinas, announced that he is flipping his comment to the Seminoles on Wednesday on Instagram.

Hussey originally committed to Penn State in April, but his most recent official visit to Florida State on Dec. 9 may have helped flip his decision. Miami also was a threat to flip him.
