Antonio Cromartie Pumped For Son’s Commitment To Florida State, ‘Surreal’

Antonio Cromartie‘s son will follow in his father’s footsteps and play defensive back at Florida State … and Dad tells TMZ Sports he couldn’t be happier about it!!

Antonio Cromartie Jr. — a teenager who plays his high school ball at Carrollton H.S. 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’ coaching staff 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 for a visit — and then Cromartie Jr. committed to the program.

Jr. was just as thrilled as Dad with the decision … explaining to us, “I’ve always dreamed of playing at Florida State as a kid and now that it’s here, I’m grateful.”
