Florida State University’s football program is turning its attention to the 2028 recruiting cycle, targeting a highly sought‑after quarterback who could anchor the Seminoles’ future.
Brayden Tillman, a three‑star signal‑caller from Traverse City, Michigan, is slated to set foot on the FSU campus for the regular‑season finale against the Florida Gators, a game that will serve as a showcase for the coaching staff.
The visit follows a June camp that the Seminoles hosted after extending a scholarship, placing Tillman on a short list of prospects the staff believes can develop into a reliable starter.
A deepening recruiting pipeline
Ranked No. 523 overall and No. 34 among quarterbacks in the 247Sports composite, Tillman also holds offers from the Wisconsin Badgers, Michigan State Spartans and Purdue Boilermakers, bringing his total to ten collegiate programs.
At Traverse City West High School, Tillman posted a 5‑5 record as a sophomore, completing 54.4% of his passes for 880 yards, 11 touchdowns and eight interceptions, while adding 277 rushing yards and two scores on the ground.
Coaches see his dual‑threat ability as a perfect fit for the Seminoles’ offensive scheme, which aims to blend a pro‑style passing attack with occasional designed runs.
The upcoming visit will provide Tillman with an in‑depth look at the program’s facilities, coaching resources and academic support, all of which could influence his final decision when the 2028 class signs.
