Logan Flaherty, a three‑star quarterback prospect from Port Charlotte, has officially pledged to Florida State’s 2027 recruiting class, a move that underscores the Seminoles’ growing momentum in the cycle.
The commitment marks a reversal for Flaherty, who had previously verbally committed to the University of Central Florida before rescinding his pledge in April, clearing the path for the Atlantic Coast Conference program to secure his signature.
He chose Florida State over other suitors including Rutgers University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, signaling a decisive preference for the in‑state powerhouse.
Flaherty’s junior season was prolific, as he amassed 2,636 passing yards and 27 touchdown throws while also contributing 595 rushing yards and 11 scores on the ground, highlighting a rare dual‑threat skill set.
His addition brings the total number of verbal commitments to seven for the Seminoles in the 2027 class, a tally that positions Florida State among the early leaders in that year’s recruiting landscape.
A Strategic Addition for the Program
Coaches view the recruit as a strategic piece that could bolster both the passing and rushing attacks, offering flexibility that aligns with the team’s evolving offensive scheme.
The announcement has been welcomed by fans and analysts alike, who see the commitment as a tangible indicator of the program’s ability to attract top talent within Florida’s competitive high school market.
With his blend of arm strength, accuracy, and mobility, Flaherty is expected to enter the program as a potential early‑enrollment candidate, potentially participating in spring practices.
