Florida State's 2025 recruiting class has suffered setbacks as three blue-chip wide receiver commitments, including four-star CJ Wiley, have pledged to SEC programs, particularly Georgia. Wiley, who previously committed to Florida State, cited the Seminoles' poor performance and instability as reasons for his decision to flip to Georgia, where he is now one of five wide receiver commitments. Georgia, boasting a strong recruiting class, now ranks third nationally and has added several top prospects, including four-star Vance Spafford for the 2026 class. The Seminoles, with their current class ranking at No. 47, face challenges in maintaining their competitive edge in recruiting amid disappointing seasons. The loss of Wiley and others highlights the growing dominance of SEC programs in attracting top talent. As the Early Signing Period approaches, Florida State's need for improvement on the field and in recruiting becomes increasingly urgent.
