Florida State football, recruiting news: NCAA recruiting dead period extended until August

Recruiting:

After initially extending the dead period for recruiting (limiting on-campus visits) until June 30, the NCAA has decided to extend it until the beginning of August:

“The extension maintains consistent recruiting rules for all sports and allows coaches to focus on the student-athletes who may be returning to campus,” M. Grace Calhoun, athletics director at Pennsylvania and NCAA council chair, said in a statement. “The committee is committed to reviewing the dead period again in late June or early July.”

Florida State sent an offer out to 2021 New Jersey defensive end prospect Mike Jarvis.

“In the NCAA. and with other amateurs, players don’t have a strong voice and have a union. Their voice is always suppressed,” said McDonald, who added that only a select few players might have the platform to influence safety measures. “I’m not Joe Burrow; I’m just a tight end at Florida State.”

Florida State is a legitimate contender for Moussa, though LSU is the main competition and the slight favorite. Leonard Hamilton and the gang have pulled off some feats, and there’s a chance this could be the latest:
