FSU football has already sent out 139 offers for players in the 2022 class and another 30 offers for players in 2023.
They’ve heavily targeted Florida and Georgia, with 48 percent of the players in 2022 being from those two states. A better sign is 83 percent of the 2023 players offered are from those two states.
It’s all about building those relationships early and getting the players on campus when visits are allowed again. The good news is they have the capability of showing the campus virtually already, which should encourage those players to wait to visit in person.
