A Recruiting Race Heats Up
Florida State University is making a concerted push for Brady Quinn, a four‑star quarterback prospect in the 2028 class who has already attracted more than thirty offers from elite programs across the country.
Quinn’s high school résumé shows a steady climb: as a sophomore he threw for 2,960 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions while completing 60.4 % of his passes, and as a freshman he posted 2,549 yards, 33 touchdowns and nine interceptions with a 55.7 % completion rate. He also added 275 rushing yards and four ground touchdowns.
The Seminoles offered him last October and have kept a steady dialogue ever since, despite only one unofficial campus visit in March. Their persistence reflects a broader strategy to stay connected with the recruit as he navigates a crowded field.
Visits on the Horizon
In the coming fall Quinn plans to tour five schools, including his in‑state favorites Florida and Florida State, as well as UCLA, SMU and Purdue. Each trip will give him a closer look at the programs vying for his signature.
The competition is fierce. Rivals such as UCLA, SMU and Purdue are all heavily involved, and the quarterback’s ranking — No. 284 overall and No. 18 among quarterbacks in the Rivals industry list — underscores the caliber of interest.
Why the Seminoles Matter
For Florida State, securing Quinn would not only bolster the offense but also reinforce a recruiting narrative that emphasizes sustained engagement with top talent. The coaching staff’s ability to maintain communication throughout the season could prove decisive in the final decision.
Blake Alderman of On3 has noted that Florida State remains among the top contenders, a assessment that aligns with the program’s active outreach and the recruit’s own emphasis on staying in touch with coaches.
