Antonio CromartieSon will follow in his father's footsteps and play back at Florida State… and Dad tells it TMZ Sports He couldn't be happier about it!!
Antonio Cromartie Jr. – A teenager who plays his high school ball at Carrollton HS in Georgia – just committed to the Seminoles earlier this month… and when we sat down with Sr. this week, the former NFL superstar called the whole thing ” surreal.”
Cromartie Sr., who played for FSU in 2003 and 2004, said the offer from Florida State came from the Noles coaches on Christmas … and he said it was “better than any gift I could give.” his son.
Days later, the duo made the trip to Tallahassee to visit – and that's when Cromartie Jr. committed to the program.
“I knew when I was in the meeting with coach Surtain.”
2025 db Antonio Cromartie Jr. is a Nole! He's fast, has a high football IQ and has a knack for forcing turnovers.

Jr. was just as thrilled as Dad with the decision… telling us, “I always dreamed of playing at Florida State as a kid, and now that it's here, I'm grateful.”
Wait for your permission to load the Instagram media.
As a member of the Class of 2025, Cromartie Jr. will be heading to campus in just a few months… and Sr. told us over the next few weeks that they'll be learning how to prepare for the college game in earnest.
Cromartie Sr. said they will watch each other on tape and practice hard … with the hope that Jr. will play faster as a freshman.
As for what the Seminoles can expect from the younger Cromartie when he finally puts on the FSU helmet and pads… he said it's simple – they're getting a Ball Hawk.
Like father, like son!
