2026 four-star linebacker Duyon Forkpa from Hoschton (Ga.) Mill Creek tells me Florida State is his leader, he's interested in Michigan and is high on Tennessee but the Vols haven't offered yet. The Seminoles looking very strong here.

The Osceola staff appreciates you for hanging in there with us througout this very difficult football season and would like to express our appreciation with two events:
1. An FSU v UM gamewatch party at Glory Days this Saturday. While Bob Ferrante and Curt Weiler will be covering the game in Miami, Jerry Kutz invites you to join him at he gamewatch party. It will be an opportunity to buy you a beer, cry on eachother's shoulder, and chat about the future.
2. On the Friday prior to the UNC game, we'll meet at Vice Society in CollegeTown, which is across Madison from Bowden's in the same facility we hosted events in the past but with a new name. We'll post up about 4 with the event running right up to the start of the Block Party when you can watch the Marching Chiefs, Cheerleaders and live music. Come join us for food, drinks and to commiserate.
