Recruit's Mom Walks off on Signing Day When Son Commits To Florida
By: Karin Brown
No. 40 overall prospect Jacob Copeland had his college decision narrowed down to three schools: University of Tennessee, University of Alabama and Florida State University.
Copeland chose FSU.
However, Copeland's mother had different plans for her son.
Wearing an Alabama sweatshirt and Tennessee hat, she got up from her seat next to her son and left the ceremony just as her son announced his decision.
Support your kids and their dreams not yours!! #JacobCopeland

Many have attacked and insulted Jacob Copeland on social media for months, but I guarantee there are few people who would have had the confidence and composure to commit to a program against their family's wishes. #Gators
