Florida State football had to take care of business during the Early Signing Period with keeping its commits in place, since the program had two disappointing seasons in a row, where they finished 2-10 in 2024 and 5-7 in 2025. This comes with a price, as highly-touted prospects could be looking elsewhere.
The Seminoles have a couple of recruits that they needed to put a fence around, since the Ohio State Buckeyes flipped five-star defensive back Jay Timmons from Florida State. This was disappointing since Timmons was a legacy prospect.
Nonetheless, the program cannot let that snowball their efforts and make it a miserable Early Signing Period.
