Noles247.com has learned 2016 signee Shavar Manuel will not enroll at Florida State and will instead head to a Junior College.

A source within his family says that Manuel, a former four-star defensive tackle, has signed with Fort Scott CC in Kansas. The same source says that Florida State has been working with him over the past few weeks in picking a JUCO to attend. Manuel will need to get his AA degree before becoming eligible. The family believes he could be out of JUCO in a year and a half.

Manuel is originally from Tampa. He played his first three seasons at Blake high school and transferred to IMG Academy in Bradenton prior to his senior year. Manuel committed to the Gators in January, before flipping to the Seminoles on Signing Day.
