Florida State Recruits & Targets 11/8

High School football is starting to near the end of the regular season in many states across the country. Florida State's current commits and targets are still in action all over the country this week.

As we get further along into the college football season, we see many recruits begin to take their official visits as their own high school seasons start to wind down. Expect to see some major moves in the next few weeks, especially with Florida State's recruiting.

We are seeing a lot of playoff matchups start to spring up with the regular season for high school football ending for many schools. There is a lot of potential for some of FSU's high profile recruits to start playing each other in playoff games. We'll keep up you all updated on matchups as they are posted.

No new additions this week but I am removing Kendarius Webster from the targets list as the 4 Star CB from Stockbridge, Georgia just recently committed to Ole Miss. This is a big miss for FSU as there is a big need at DB for the Noles.
