FSU Football Prepares Miami Showdown Amid Recruiting Visits, Coaching Presence

Florida State football is actively recruiting quarterbacks for the 2027 class, with four-star Derrick Baker visiting campus for the Miami rivalry game and holding an offer from the Seminoles. The team recently suffered a double-overtime loss to Virginia but remains competitive this season with wins over Alabama, East Texas A&M, and Kent State, showing significant improvement from the previous year. Despite the loss, anticipation builds for the rivalry game against Miami, which may attract notable figures such as former head coach Jimbo Fisher, who remains a respected figure in Tallahassee. Florida State is also monitoring potential transfer opportunities, including Arkansas linebacker Tavion Wallace, who has ties to the program and could add depth in the future. Meanwhile, former FSU wide receiver Vandrevius Jacobs is excelling at South Carolina, highlighting the talent that once played for the Seminoles. Although College GameDay will not be hosted at Florida State for the Miami game, the fan base still looks forward to a high-profile night game at Doak Campbell Stadium.
