Florida State Seminoles
· 2026-06-23
Florida State Seminoles are rebuilding momentum with their recruiting class, despite losing three 4-star defensive back commitments.
The Seminoles' Class of 2027 has seen mixed results, but recent pickups like 4-star wide receiver Sean Green bring promise.
The Seminoles lost top prospect 4-star Mekhi Williams, who flipped to Wisconsin, and 4-star defensive backs Jaylan Scott and Bryce Williams.
These losses hurt the overall health of the class, but the Seminoles are working hard to commit 4-star defensive back Ta'Shawn Poole.
The program needs to load up talent and make their intentions known to top prospects on recruiting boards, especially after seven wins in two seasons.
Head coach Mike Norvell and his staff are taking a pulse check to see where FSU stands in the hearts of the next generation of collegiate stars.
The Seminoles inked the 17th overall recruiting class in 2026, including talent like defensive back Chuck Kennon and linebacker Izayia Williams.
The Seminoles will heavily push for the commitments of Poole and 4-star defensive lineman Sam LeJeune, who play positions of need for the program.
FSU is targeting the likes of 4-star interior offensive lineman DaJohn Yar to bolster their currently 57th-ranked national class.
The program has landed six commitments in June, led by Green and 3-star wide receiver Majay Thompson.
The Seminoles' current class has talent, including fast-rising quarterback Logan Flaherty and 4-star running back Jayden Miles.
But there is more to be done to rebuild momentum and make a strong recruiting class.
The Seminoles need to maintain recent momentum built on the recruiting trail and earn commitments from top prospects.
And with the right recruits, the Seminoles can build a strong future roster and compete in the ACC.
So the focus is on recruiting and building a strong class, with the goal of competing at a high level.
The Seminoles have a long way to go, but with the right talent and coaching, they can achieve their goals.
