Four-Star OT Sets Commitment Date With FSU Football In Contention
The Florida State Seminoles are desperately in need of some victories on the recruiting trail.
FSU pulled in three-star quarterback Logan Flaherty last week. However, Flaherty was only the third recruit to pledge to the Seminoles since the beginning of the year.

For the most part, Florida State finds itself struggling to gain traction with top prospects. The lack of stability in Tallahassee and the results of the last two seasons are casting a dark cloud over head coach Mike Norvell.
Regardless, the Seminoles have a job to do, and they could make life a little easier on themselves by securing a few blue-chip recruits.
Florida State Among Finalists For Four-OT Who Will Commit In June
According to Rivals, four-star offensive tackle JJ Brown has set his commitment date.
Brown plans to announce his decision on June 23, with five contenders in the running to land his services; Florida State, Auburn, Florida, Clemson, and Georgia.
As of now, the Seminoles and Gators are the lone members of the group who aren't scheduled to receive official visits from Brown. That has Florida State somewhat on the outside looking in unless the top offensive lineman makes it to Tallahassee in late June.
Brown's next three weekends are filled as he'll see Clemson, Georgia, and Auburn. That leaves an opening shortly before the dead period.

Florida State offered Brown back in February. He was on campus last month to view a spring practice and meet with the coaching staff.
The 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 104 overall prospect, the No. 7 IOL, and the No. 3 recruit in Alabama in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
Outside of Brown, Florida State's offensive tackle board is quite thin, with the program monitoring names such as four-star Li'Marcus Jones and three-star Jacob Burns.
