Florida State dismisses top-ranked 2026 recruit Chauncey “Chuck” Kennon after an arrest tied to a high-speed police chase in Tampa. Multiple outlets report that the incident involved speeds of about 150 mph and that Kennon was subsequently charged with felonies.
Reports say the charges include fleeing to elude, though outlet descriptions emphasize different aspects of the case. Breitbart frames the story around Florida State’s dismissal following the chase and felony arrest. Fox News similarly links the school’s action to the felony charges that stem from the incident. Yardbarker also states that Florida State announced the dismissal of Kennon, describing him as a freshman cornerback.
Across coverage, the common points are the chase, the felony allegations, and Florida State’s decision to remove Kennon from its program following the arrest.
