FSU football: Noles offer 2022 offensive tackle Elijah Pritchett

FSU football coaches are still hard at work evaluating players for its 2022 recruiting class. Their latest offer is at a position of need from Georgia.

FSU football coaches are looking to solidify its offensive line in the coming recruiting classes. The Noles have two offensive linemen committed for the 2021 recruiting cycle.

Both players can play a variety of positions, but the Noles need players who are true offensive tackles.

They’ll likely take at least three more offensive linemen in 2021 but have already started laying the groundwork for 2022.

They have sent out 25 offers, with 20 of them being offensive tackles. The latest offer goes to Elijah Pritchett from Columbus, Georgia.

He announced his offer via Twitter Friday evening:

Pritchett checks in at 6’6″ and 251 pounds and has 14 offers from the likes of FSU, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan State, Mississippi State, North Carolina, Nebraska, South Carolina, Oregon, Syracuse, Tennessee, West Virginia, and others.

Pritchett doesn’t have a 247 Composite Ranking at this time, but those offers tell you he’ll be at least a three-star recruit though it’s interesting, neither Georgia nor Georgia Tech has offered him yet.

He’s still got a long time before he graduates high school and will need to add some size. However, he does list himself at 279 pounds on his Twitter profile. The state of Georgia is where FSU offensive line coach Alex Atkins has an excellent reputation and great connections. Columbus is a short three-hour drive to Tallahassee, and offensive tackle is an area the Noles hugely need talent.

There are lots to like about this offer, and there’s time for the staff to establish a relationship here. As with all the 2022 recruits, it’s all about getting them on campus and showing them what FSU football is all about.

Luckily, Pritchett isn’t far away, and I’d expect him to be on campus soon if he’s interested in the Noles.
