The Florida native is the fifth-ranked corner and 33rd overall recruit in the ESPN 300.
Lester picked Florida State over three other finalists: Colorado, Alabama, and Georgia.
"Since Day 1 I was attached to the university, and the feeling the staff gives me shows me I'm their No. 1 priority in this '24 class," Lester said, according to Hayes Fawcett of On3. "Coming off a 10-3 season last year with great players returning, the Tribe is headed towards victory."
The 6-foot-2, 180-pound defensive back is the highest-ranked 2024 recruit to join the Seminoles, who now have eight ESPN 300 prospects. That list also includes a pair of top-50 recruits in tight end Landen Thomas and running back Kameron Davis.
