5. Marvin Wilson, 5-star DT (Bellaire, TX)

Marvin Wilson is a five-star defensive tackle out of Bellaire, Texas. At 6-foot-4, 329 pounds, Wilson is a coveted prospect by many. He ranks sixth nationally in this year’s recruiting class and is the first ranked defensive tackle.

The Florida State Seminoles already have two defensive tackle commitments, but adding Wilson would be huge for them. Their current total of defensive tackles, however, sits currently at 10. The Seminoles will lose just one defensive tackle this upcoming season, which makes for a logjam in the near future. Playing time will surely play a role in Wilson’s decision.

Wilson has the Seminoles in his top five, but as always there’s competition. LSU, Texas, Alabama and Ohio State are the other schools. He took his official visit to Florida State back on October 28. Since then, he’s taken officials to Ohio State on November 26, LSU on January 13 and Oklahoma on September 16. He’s yet to take official visits to Texas or Alabama.

The Seminoles still continue to push for Wilson despite him heavily favoring LSU. Florida State and LSU remain his top two choices. He will announce his final decision on National Signing Day. Acquiring Wilson would give the Seminoles their fourth 5-star commitment in this year’s recruiting class.
