Florida State Football: Top National Signing Day Targets

The Florida State Seminoles have a solid 2017 recruiting class. Here are some must-have targets on the Seminoles’ short list as National Signing Day approaches.

The Florida State Seminoles had an interesting 2016 season, going 10-3 and finishing eighth in the AP Poll. They won the Orange Bowl 33-32 over the Michigan Wolverines. They didn’t make a whole lot of noise in the ACC but they’re creating plenty on the recruiting trail.

The Seminoles currently have the fifth-ranked recruiting class, according to 247 Sports. But they still have some loose ends to tie up with some last-minute recruits. The offense ranked 32nd in the FBS in scoring offense (35.1 points/game). The defense ranked 45th in scoring defense, allowing 25.0 points per game.

The Seminoles 2017 recruiting class looks to change all of that. Their current class features 21 commits, 10 on offense, 10 on defense and a long snapper. With three five-stars, seven four-stars and nine three-stars among others, the Seminoles boast the best recruiting class in the ACC.

The Florida State Seminoles earned the commitment of the top running back in the nation (Cam Akers) but they need some offensive line help. The Seminoles lost offensive guard Kareem Are and offensive tackle Roderick Johnson to graduation. As of now, they have one commit on the offensive line.

Defensively, the Seminoles have some key targets as well, particularly at linebacker. Here are the top targets for Florida State as National Signing Day approaches.
