Florida State is currently sitting as the thirteenth-best recruiting class in the 2026 cycle, according to 247Sports Composite. The Seminoles' fan base want to see the class creep into the top-ten for the first time in the Mike Norvell era.
The program wants to compete for conference and national championships, and the only way to accomplish that is to continue stacking talent on the roster and developing them to reach that level of sustainable success.
The Seminoles finished with a 5-7 record on the year, in what looked promising to begin the season after beating Alabama in the opener.
