FSU plan for defensive end recruiting is to poach players committed elsewhere

The 2026 FSU recruiting class has no defensive end commits as we've passed the halfway point in July. The Noles didn't have a huge recruiting board at the position and only brought in fewer than 15 defensive ends for official visits.

All of those players have committed to other programs early or are no longer realistically considering FSU. We highlighted one ACC program that the FSU coaches need to keep an eye on if their season goes sideways.

The Syracuse Orange have two defensive end commits from Florida, and FSU recruited both. This week, one of those targets set up an official visit to FSU for the weekend of the Miami game.
