Florida State Secures 18 Verbal Commits in 2026 Recruiting Class

Florida State University's football program is gaining momentum in its 2026 recruiting class, notably with the commitments of offensive lineman Jakobe Green and tight end Xavier Tiller. Green, a 6-foot-3, 335-pound interior offensive lineman from Gadsden County High School, de-committed from Mississippi State and pledged to FSU after multiple visits and a longstanding relationship with the coaching staff, including head coach Mike Norvell and offensive line coach Herb Hand. His commitment marks the 18th in the Seminoles' class, which has risen into the national top 10 rankings due to recent recruiting successes. Additionally, three-star tight end Landen Miree is projected to commit to Florida State, bolstering the team's receiving options. The Seminoles have made significant efforts to retain local talent and rebuild their offensive line, which has been a point of concern. Overall, Florida State's recruiting surge reflects a strategic push to strengthen key positions for upcoming seasons.
