FSU football had the No. 11 recruiting class in 2013 and No. 1 class in the ACC. We grade the class to see who lived up to expectations.

FSU football was coming off their Orange Bowl win over Northern Illinois and the No. 3 recruiting class in the nation in 2012.

The 2012 class was loaded and featured eight future NFL players.

Ironically, the 2013 recruiting class is the lowest rated class overall in the Jimbo Fisher era. It’s the only class thus far that finished outside the top 10.

There were 22 commitments with an average player rating of 89.19. That’s the second lowest player average under Fisher.

The lowest average player rating was the 2010 class where Fisher had about a month to close the class after becoming head coach.

FSU’s 2013 recruiting class had some studs and some duds. Let’s go through and see who graded where as we go from lowest rated to highest.
