Recent commitments reveal both losses and emerging targets, with coaches and prospects navigating a complex web of schools, stats, and future plans.

Florida State is deepening its 2027 recruiting class with two highly rated linebackers, Robert Geathers III and CJ Ohuabunwa, who are scheduled for official visits as the Seminoles aim to climb the national rankings.

Florida State is courting four‑star linebacker Frederrick Ford, a Mississippi native whose official visit to Tallahassee coincides with a broader push to reshape a defense that could define the program’s next era.

Four‑star prospect Jabari Watkins called off his official visit to Florida State, citing a change of plans, and will announce his college choice on July 1 after trips to Louisville, Arkansas and Georgia Tech.

Only one verbal pledge has been secured since February, and the loss of a scheduled visit by four‑star prospect Jabari Watkins adds uncertainty to the Seminoles' 2027 class, which currently ranks No. 39 nationally.
