Recruiting:
Florida State will host a large number of unsigned 2019 recruits this weekend in Tallahassee. Chief among them will be 4-star, dual-threat quarterback Lance LeGendre.
I will be taking an official visit to the university of Florida State on the 25th #GoNoles #tribe19 !!

The blue-chip prospect from Louisiana would fill a large need for #Tribe19, as Willie Taggart has no signed, or committed, high school QBs in this class.
Speaking of filling needs, it’s no secret that FSU’s offensive line was a disaster in 2018. What are the ’Noles doing in OL recruiting to try and plug those holes? The latest update on that position group can be found here.

2020 center prospect from Indiana, Josh Fryar, received an offer on Tuesday. Fryar camped at Florida State over the summer and performed well.

Due to the aforementioned losing streak, FSU’s projected seed in the NCAA Tournament took a big hit. As information, the Bracketology prediction was released before the team’s victory against the Tigers.
