One touted member of the Class of 2017 knows how to make an entrance. A very, very expensive entrance.
Khalan Laborn is one of the most talented recruits in next year’s class, rated as the No. 2 all-purpose back in the country and the No. 1 player at any position in the state of Virginia. Overall, 247Sports.com has the four-star back rated No. 38 on its composite board. So, yeah, he’s good. And a bit flamboyant.
At Nike’s The Opening event in Oregon late this past week, Laborn announced that he would be committing to Florida State. That was not really a surprise. How he arrived to make the commitment, though, was the talk of the recruiting circuit.RB Khalan Laborn just rolled up to the field in this Lambo and committed to Florida State pic.twitter.com/cnpDtyPqNc

Yes, that’s a Lamborghini decked out in FSU decals, albeit temporary ones. And, for those who are curious, the six-figure set of wheels is a rental.
And, nope, I have no clue what Laborn’s parents/guardians do for a living or how a teenager can afford such a rental so don’t even bother asking.
