Take a look at the five must-have 2016 Florida State football recruiting targets.

Florida State Football coach Jimbo Fisher is like his predecessor Bobby Bowden in a number of ways. However, the way he handles recruiting isn’t one of them. Bowden was an epic closer, meaning that he was able to make huge splashes on National Signing day with elite players. It’s probably a changing of the times, but Jimbo Fisher prefers to lock up the majority of his recruiting classes early. There’s not a lot of mystery in who’s going to sign with Florida State Football nowadays.

In fact, seven of the players in the class of 2016 were early enrollees:

  • Malik Henry 4* (QB)
  • Andrew Boselli 3* (OG)
  • Cedric Wood 4* (DT)
  • Walvenski Aime 3* (JUCO DT)
  • Janarius Robinson 4* (DE)
  • Josh Brown 4* (DE/LB)
  • Ricky Agauyo 3* (K)

Florida State currently has the number 3 ranked recruiting class in the country, and could might get higher if a number of the players we’re going to highlight decide to bleed garnet and gold.

Who do the Noles need to sign by Wednesday in order to lock down this class as one of the deepest in recent memory? Let’s look at five can’t-miss recruits that would make this Florida State football class epic.
