Seminoles' 2027 Quarterback Pursuit
Florida State is intensifying its pursuit of Logan Flaherty, a three‑star quarterback from Port Charlotte, for the 2027 recruiting cycle.
The Seminoles view the Florida native as a potential cornerstone for a class that has seen its momentum fluctuate after a series of early commitments slipped away.
Flaherty’s athletic profile combines a strong arm with dual‑threat capabilities, having thrown for over 2,600 yards and added 595 rushing yards last season.
His completion rate of 60.8 percent and 27 touchdown passes placed him among the top quarterbacks in the state, earning him a No. 39 ranking among signal callers nationally.
A Recruiting Analyst's Forecast
On3’s vice president of recruiting, Steve Wiltfong, has gone on record predicting that Flaherty will ultimately choose Florida State, a forecast that has generated considerable buzz among recruiting circles.
Wiltfong’s projection is rooted in the quarterback’s expressed affinity for the Seminoles’ offensive scheme and the personal connections he has forged with coaches.
Head coach Mike Norvell has publicly emphasized the need to replenish the quarterback room, and Flaherty’s potential commitment would address that need while also bolstering the team’s overall recruiting standing.
Despite the optimism, the Seminoles’ position in the 2027 class has taken a hit recently, as rival programs have secured commitments from other top prospects in the region.
If Flaherty follows through on the predicted commitment, the impact would reverberate beyond the field, influencing future recruiting narratives and potentially attracting additional talent to Tallahassee.
