Recruiting:
Our Josh Pick has recruiting interviews from the gridiron to the hardwood. He caught up with blue-chip FSU hoops commit Bryce McGowens’ father to talk his son’s recruitment process.
FSU Hoops is making a late push for 5-star forward Harrison Ingram, the 17th ranked prospect in the 2021 class.
FSU Football was also active on the trail as coach Dillingham offered 2022 4-star DE Anthony Lucas, one of the top players in Arizona.
The ’Noles also offered another out-of-state pass rusher in 4-star Kobie Mckinzie out of Lubbock, Texas.
FSU’s third offer of the day went out to Andre Green, Jr. a 2022 receiver hailing from Virginia.
You can stay up to date with all things recruiting in Tomahawk Nation’s recruiting thread.

Cast your votes on which team from the AFC and NFC had the best draft hauls in our Tomahawk Nation Writers’ three-round mock draft.
Other Sports:
FSU basketball comes in way-too-low in this way-too-early top-25, somehow behind a Florida team they’ve beaten each of the last six years.
Alumni:
ESPN did a nice profile on the first round selection of the man, the myth, the legend: Sebastian Janikowski.
The Carolina Panthers profiled the NFL Draft journey of another first-rounder out of Florida State:
