Florida State football had a solid 2026 recruiting class, which finished as the 14th-best in the 247Sports Composite rankings. The Seminoles did not have a season to remember, as they left the fan base with a bad taste in their mouth with a 5-7 record.
The thought process was that Florida State would have a couple of de-commitments in their class, but they signed 32 prospects and had no flips during the Early Signing Period.
One of the recruits that Florida had committed to the fold since October 2023 was four-star defensive back Darryl Bell III.
