FSU football offers talented offensive lineman in 2025 recruiting class
Florida State football has built a strong foundation with its 2025 recruiting class so far. It is far from finished given that they only have twelve commitments to the fold. Head football coach Mike Norvell is looking to prove that he is much more than someone who can just acquire talent via the transfer portal. The Seminoles have been negatively recruited in that aspect, especially on the offensive line.

FSU football: Top DE target receives crystal ball predictions to Auburn
FSU football has one of the best high school defensive end players Javion Hilson committed to its 2025 recruiting class. The Noles would love to get another top high school player at the position and have targeted four-star Jared Smith as one of their top remaining targets. I profiled the defensive end position as one of the remaining needs to address in the 2025 class a few days ago. However, it appears the talented player is trending toward the Auburn Tigers as of Tuesday when he received two predictions in their favor with a confidence of six out of 10. The Noles were among the first few teams to offer the Alabama native, and got him on campus several times, including an official visit in June. He also officially visited USC, Georgia, South Carolina, and Ole Miss. However, one would think the coaching staff would learn about Alabama players from their experience with Keldric Faulk in the 2023 recruiting cycle. It's extremely difficult to get those Alabama players to leave the state and not choose Alabama or Auburn.
