FSU football currently ranks as the 22nd best recruiting class for the 2025 cycle. But some fans are wondering when the Seminoles will get their next contract, as the program hasn't made a commitment since four-star defensive end Javion Hilson transferred from Alabama in January. thinking.
The program has generated positive momentum with a variety of highly anticipated prospects within this cycle. But it wasn't always rainbows and sunshine, as four-star safety target Darrell “Duke” Johnson Jr. recently committed to Alabama.
That's understandable since Johnson Jr. grew up a Crimson Tide fan, but he still had a crystal ball prediction in favor of the Seminoles. To make matters worse, Alabama has a new coaching staff led by head football coach Karen DeBoer.
Florida State recently got some good recruiting news from Warchant's Matt LaSerre, who provided an expert's prediction on the four-star offensive lineman prospect. But recruiting has so many ups and downs, and a teenager has to make the most important decision of his life.
Unfortunately, Florida State also released some disappointing updates on Monday, with Noles247 contributor Zach Blostein inserting a crystal ball prediction favoring the home Auburn Tigers.
That's the danger of recruiting prospects from Alabama (see: Keldrick Faulk commits to Auburn on signing day). The hiring process is always changing. Henderson recently told On3's Chad Simmons that Florida State is the team to beat for his recruitment.
The Seminoles appear to have an advantage after running backs coach Cadillac Williams parted ways with the Tigers. Additionally, Henderson just visited Florida State this past weekend for the Legacy Day event. He went to the plains the previous weekend.
Given the talent on this team, the running back position shouldn't be a huge priority for the Seminoles this season. The coaching staff seems happy with what they have. Florida State has to recruit in the trenches this cycle.
