So when Jacques Patrick verbally committed to Florida State, it had a lot to do with how his mother perceived the way Jimbo Fisher went about the Jameis Winston fiasco.

"My mom was the one that really reacted to it," he said. "She knows I’m going to be in good hands when I get up there and that’s the most important thing."
