Top Recruiting Classes after National Signing Day

6. Florida State Seminoles

The Florida State Seminoles had a solid National Signing Day with the late acquisition of five-star defensive tackle Marvin Wilson. Wilson committed to the Seminoles on February 1, giving them a solid interior defensive lineman. He was one of four five-star prospects to sign with Florida State, according to 247 Sports.

Wilson joins five-star weakside defensive end Joshua Kaindoh in the Seminoles’ 2017 recruiting class as well. Kaindoh, a 6-foot-6, 250 pound prospect, ranks ninth overall in the nation, third at his position and first overall in the state of Florida, according to 247 Sports, as he enters the college ranks.

Both Wilson and Kaindoh are two players who could see playing time right away for the Seminoles. Not to mention standout safety Derwin James returns from a torn meniscus injury in 2017 as well. All of that makes for a scary scenario for Florida State as they look to return to the top of the ACC.

The Seminoles offense also got a whole lot better by signing five-star running backs Cam Akers and Khalan LaBorn. So, losing prolific running back Dalvin Cook won’t hurt Florida State too badly.

Akers, the second rated player in the nation, first best by position and first in the state of Mississippi, according to 247 Sports, was a former Alabama-commit who thought otherwise of the decision, choosing instead to attend Florida State. He enrolled early with the Seminoles’ looking to get an early grasp on the offense.

LaBorn is an all-purpose back, who is rated the 28th best player, first at his position and first in the state of Virginia, according to 247 Sports. He gives Florida State another playmaker on the offensive side of the ball to work with if not now, in the near future.
