You are starting to see FSU recruiting board slim down because FSU has moved on or the prospects have. We will see some added after the Summer Camps. You will see some prospects commit to FSU. The numbers will work themselves out.
PLAYERS IN BOLD ARE COMMITTED TO FSU
Quarterbacks
Tramell Jones: (Mandarin HS-Jacksonville, FL) 6-0, 180 (Committed to FSU) (June 21st)
Off the Board
Antwann Hill: (Houston County HS-Warner Robins, GA) 6'5-220 (Committed to Memphis)
Carter Smith: (Bishop Verot HS-Ft Myers, FL) 6'3-180 (Committed to Michigan)
Comments: Jones has locked down his recruitment. He will most likely sign with FSU on NSD. After flirting with UF, Jones told the FSU coaches he is shutting his recruitment down. FSU was putting out feelers for Smith and Luc Nickel who is committed to Miami.
Running Backs
Byron Louis: (American Heritage-Plantation, FL) 5-11, 200
Ousmane Kromah: (Lee County HS-Leesburg, GA) 5-11, 200 (Visited FSU June 7)
Iverson Howard: (Quince Orchard-Gaithersburg, MD)
Taevion Swint: (Osceola-Kissimmee,FL)5'9-180 (Committed to UCF)
Off the Board
Alvin Henderson: (Elba HS-Elba, AL) 5-10, 180 (Committed to Auburn)
Deandre Desinor: (Delray Atlantic, Delray, FL) 5-11, 190
Shawn Simeon: (Naples HS-Naples, FL) 5'10-180 (Committed to Toledo)
Todd Robinson: (Valdosta-Valldosta, GA) 5'11-190 (Committed to Georgia)
Comments: FSU recruiting board will be cleared up in the next month. Ousmane looks to be pulling the trigger in July. If he decides to choose FSU does that mean Louis goes to Georgia. If Ousmane pulls the trigger for UGA that all but moves Louis into FSU Camp. FSU will know its running back faith real soon.
Wide Receivers
CJ Wiley-(Milton-Alpharetta, GA) 6'4-190 (Committed to FSU)
Daylan McCutcheon-(Lovejoy HS-Lucas,FL) 6'0-175 (Committed to FSU)
Kelvin Crawford: (Gadsden County HS-Havana, FL) 6'2-180
Donovan Olugbode-(IMG Academy-Bradenton, FL) 6'2-170
Naeshaun Montgomery-(Miami Central, Miami, FL) 6'1-165
Off the Board
Jaime Ffrench: (Mandarin HS-Jacksonville, FL) 6-1, 185
Kaliq Lockett-(Sachse, TX) 6'2-175 (Committed to Texas)
Koby Howard-(Chaminade Prep-Hollywood, FL) 5'11-180 (Visits in June)

Derick Smith: (Southside HS-Selma, AL) 6'1-180
Joshua Moore (West Broward HS-Pembroke Pines, FL) 6'4-200 (Committed to Florida)
Varnell Brown-(Orlando Jones, FL) 5'11-170 (Committed to UF)
Dallas Wilson (Tampa Bay Tech, Tampa, FL) 6'3-200 (Committed to Oregon)
Comments: FSU has pulled in Wiley and McCutcheon. Both are four star receivers. Wiley may be one of the best receivers in the nation. FSU will only go after ELITE receivers at this point. Look for them to continue to recruit Moore, Brown and Wilson even though all of them have already committed elsewhere.
Tight Ends
Chase Loftin: (Millard South HS-Omaha-NE) 6'6-215 (Committed to FSU)
Andrew Olesh: (Southern Lehigh-Center Valley-PA) 6'5-215
Off the Board
Brock Schott: (Leo HS-Indiana) 6'3-215 (Committed to Miami)

Cameron Roberts: (Saint Thomas Aquinas-Fort Lauderdale, FL) 6'4-220
Ryan Ghea: (Milton HS-Alpharetta,GA) 6'5-230) (Committed to Auburn)
Tamez Young: (Robinson HS-Tampa, FL) 6'4-200
Hollis Davidson (McIntosh HS) 6'5-230 (Committed to Auburn)
Comments: The board has shrunk to two players. Davidson who we expect to commit to FSU. Only AU has a shot. Loftin says all the right things about FSU. Even if he commits to FSU can they hold onto Loftins pledge for six months?
Offensive Line
Solomon Thomas: (Raines HS-Jacksonville, FL) 6-4, 315 (Committed to FSU)
Peyton Joseph (Houston County-Warner, GA) 6'3-310 (Committed to FSU)
Josh Petty: (Fellowship Christian School: Roswell, GA) 6'6-270

Dontrell Glover (Langston Hughes HS-Fairburn, GA) 6'2-315
Carde Smith (Williamson HS-Mobile, AL) 6'5-280 (Back on the board)
Off the Board

Juan Gaston (Westlake HS-Atlanta, GA) 6'7-345
Ziyare Addison (Sumner HS-Riverview, FL)-6'5 270 (Committed to Oregon)
Rowan Byrne (Iona Prep-New Rochelle, GA) 6'6-300 (Committed to Clemson)
Max Buchanan (Seminole HS-Sanford, FL) 6’4-275 (Committed to Miami)
Ty Haywood: (Ryan HS-Denton, TX) 6'5-290
Lamont Rogers (Horn HS-Mesquite, TX) 6'6-315
Comments: FSU holds a commitment from Solomon Thomas. They lead for Petty. They can pull in Peyton Joseph if they want him. They have gotten visits from Haywood and Rogers. FSU sits in a good spot right now on the OL. Buchanan chose Miami over FSU which is a bit of a surprise.
DE
Javion Hilson: (Cocoa HS-Cocoa, FL) 6-3, 225 (Committed to FSU)
Jared Smith-Thompson HS- (Alabaster, AL) 6'6-240
Off the Board
Alhasssan Iddrissu: (Modesto Christian, Modesto, CA) 6'7-220
Tyon Lee (Pace HS-Milton, FL) 6'4-245
Zion Grady (Enterprise HS-Enterprise, AL) 6-4, 220 (Committed to Ohio State)
Isaiah Gibson (Warner Robins, Warner Robins, GA) 6'4-250 (NEW to the board)
Nick Clayton (Buchholz HS-Gainsville, FL) 6'4-200 (Committed to Wisconsin)
Comments: Hilson solidified his commitment recently. FSU could have taken Clayton commit. I would not be surprised if they circle back around on him. FSU got Smith on campus. He is a big time prospect. Could Grady still be in play later on?
DT
Myron Charles (Port Charlotte HS-Port Charlotte, FL) 6-4, 290 (Committed to FSU)
Kevin Wynn (Greene County HS) 6-2, 320 (Committed to FSU)
Justus Terry: (Manchester HS-Manchester, GA) 6'5-275
Off the Board
Jalen Wiggins (Rickards HS-Tallahassee, FL) 6-4, 250 (Committed to UF)
Floyd Boucard: (Miami Central HS-Miami, FL) 6'3-300 (Committed to OU)
Jarquez Carter: (Newberry HS-Newberry, FL) 6'2-270 (Committed to Ohio State)
Comments: FSU landed two of it's top targets in Charles and Wynn. Those two commitments allow them to go big game hunting. Wiggins and Justus are the focus of the staff at this time.
LB
Ethan Pritchard: (Seminole HS-Sanford, FL) 6’2-200 (Committed to FSU)
Ty Jackson (Seminole Ridge HS-Loxahatchee, FL) 6'0-200
Tavion Wallace (Wayne County-Jesup, GA) 6'1-210 (Committed to Arkansas)
Tarvos Alford (Vero Beach HS-Vero Beach, FL) 6-2, 210 (Committed to Ohio State)
Off the Board
Zayden Walker (Schley County-Ellaville, GA) 6'2-225 (Committed to Georgia)
Duke Johnson (Dodge County HS-Alabama) 6'1-200 (Committed to Alabama)
Riley Pettijohn (Mckinney HS-Mckinney, TX) 6'2-200 (Committed to Ohio State)
Michael Hastie (Douglas County-Douglasville, GA) 6'3-230 (Committed to WVU)
Gavin Nix (IMG Academy-Bradenton, FL) 6-0, 220 (Committed to Miami)
Zaydrius Rainey-Sale (Bethel HS-Spanaway, WA) 6-2, 220 (Committed to Washington)
Comments:
FSU has a commitment from Pritchard. He is a kid that played some in the secondary. He is going to play linebacker in college. He has some athletic ability to go back into coverage. He also does not mind coming up and playing the run. Tavion Wallace picked Arkansas on July 2.
S
Max Redmon (Cardinal Newman) 6'0-190 (Committed to FSU)
Bryce Fitzgerald (Belen Jesuit) 6'1-175
Jordan Young (Monroe HS-Monroe, NC) 6'0-185
Off the Board
Hylton Stubbs (Mandarin HS-Jacksonville, HS) 6’1-190 (Committed to Miami)
Jadon Blair (Mount Tabor-Winston Salem, NC) 6'4-190
Logonza Hayward (Toombs County-Lyons, GA) 6'1-200 (Commmitted to Tennessee)
Comments: The top four safeties in Florida this year are Redmon, Stubbs, Fitzgerald and Thomas. FSU has a legit shot at three of them. If Stubbs decides to stay in State we feel Florida would be the school he chooses. The Seminoles offered Fitzgerald. He came on campus and liked what FSU has offered. BoBo Wilson was the last Columbus prospect FSU has landed. We expect Redmon to pick FSU after visiting. FSU sits in a great spot for Fitzgerald and Thomas who we see as safeties. A position of concern now looks to be in a good spot.
CB
Gregory Thomas: (American Heritage-Plantation-FL) 6'1-180 (Committed to FSU)
Ladarian Clardy: (Escambia-Pensacola, FL) 6'1-180 (New)
Onis Konanbanny: (Heathwood Hall Episopal, High School)-6'1-180 (NEW) 5/29/2024
Off the Board
Chris McCorkle: (Cardinal Mooney HS-Sarasota) 6'1-170 (Committed to IU)
Chris Ewald: (Chaminade HS-Hollywood, FL) 6’0-160 (Committed to Miami)
Antonio Branch: (Miami Northwestern-Miami, FL) 6’2-170
Jett White: (Miami Edison HS-Miami) 6'2-170 (Committed to Maryland)
Ben Hanks: (Booker T-Washington, Miami, FL) 6’1-160
Comments: FSU can be selective at CB after bringing it a great class in 2024. Gregory Thomas is down to FSU and Clemson. You could see a commitment from him soon. Jett White is committed to Maryland but FSU has shown interest in the South Florida native. Branch is big, long and athletic. His spring game is next week and coach Randy Shannon will be in attendance. I look for FSU to go after Ben Hanks hard as well. There are options but outside of Thomas none of them are leaning FSU way at this time.

Dallas Golden: (Berkeley Prep-Tampa, FL) 6’0-180 (Committed to Notre Dame)
Jershaun Newton: (Clearwater Central Catholic-Clearwater, FL) 6'0-205 (Committed to Illinois)
Comments: Pickett has pretty much dropped FSU off the board. Pickett is no longer considering FSU. He has not taken any visits this spring and the communication between the two parties does not exist.
