Florida State’s 2025 recruiting class is picking up steam as the Seminoles prepare for tomorrow’s early signing period. The program has the 45th-best recruiting class in the 2025 cycle, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings.

Florida State recently received commitments from three-star JUCO wide receiver Jordan Scott and three-star wide receiver Teriq Mallory. Both are solid accomplishments for the coaching staff.

Some fans complain about the Seminoles getting three-star prospects, but they need to understand that Florida State finished the 2024 season with a 2-10 record with brand new coordinators and will soon have a revamped coaching staff.

The bad news comes on the eve of the signing period, as five-star offensive lineman Solomon Thomas from Raines High School in Jacksonville, Florida, was predicted by Noles247 FSU insider Brendan Sonnone to trade his commitment from Florida State to Florida.

The Gators defeated the Seminoles last Saturday on the football field by a score of 31-11. The main culprit, however, is the fact that Florida State fired offensive coordinator/offensive coach Alex Atkins a few weeks ago.

Atkins was the primary recruiter of all offensive linemen, and some of them showed their displeasure on social media, including Thomas. We’ve already seen four-star Peyton Joseph (Georgia Tech) and three-star Daniel Pierre-Louis (Florida) commit elsewhere.

This would be a tremendous loss for the Seminoles. However, Florida State must find a way to combat the bad news. In response, the program offered Class of 2025 four-star offensive tackle Chastan Brown from Northside High School in Warner Robins, Georgia. He is listed as being 6 feet tall and weighing 270 pounds.

Brown had previously been committed to the UCF Knights, but backed out of his commitment after head coach Gus Malzahn took the offensive coordinator position at Florida State. This could be a top-notch recruit that Malzahn could lure to Tallahassee with his familiarity.
