The Florida State Seminoles hold six verbal commitments in their #Tribe27 recruiting class. With that being said, five of those six pledges are on the defensive side of the ball.
The Seminoles enter the early stages of the summer with a lot under their belt. As recruits arrive in Tallahassee for official visits, Florida State will be looking to bulk up its class.

FSU Offers Three-Star OT Following Herb Hand Visit
Earlier this week, the Seminoles extended a scholarship offer to three-star offensive tackle and rising senior Luke Burger. The sizable offensive lineman checks in at 6-foot-7, 285 pounds.
Offensive line coach Herb Hand revealed the news in person while visiting Burger in Tennessee.
#AGTG Super grateful to have an OFFER to play @FSUFootball. Thank you @CoachHand for taking the time to visit me @sbafootball. It was great learning about the program. I'm excited to build a relationship. @Coach_Norvell@AmourManrey75@odellhaggins@mrcnum1@SBACoachMarbury… pic.twitter.com/nlpB2YdQjp

Burger has picked up interest from numerous P4 programs this offseason, including Virginia Tech, UCLA, USF, and Jacksonville State. As of now, he's scheduled to officially visit Vanderbilt, Duke, and Cincinnati.
At this stage, Burger has yet to take a trip to Florida State. That could change now that the Seminoles have offered, but other schools are in pursuit.
Coaches from Wake Forest, Purdue, Vanderbilt, Stanford, and Memphis have checked in on Burger in recent weeks.
The 6-foot-7, 285-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 1038 overall prospect, the No. 83 OT, and the No. 39 recruit in Tennessee in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
