Florida State football recruiting has one of its most important targets on an official visit as you're reading this. It's four-star Oklahoma commit Jaden O'Neal.
FSU coaches have been recruiting a handful of talented signal callers since Brady Smigiel de-committed in late January. O'Neal is the lone blue-chip target ranked among the top 15 QBs nationally FSU has a legit shot at gaining a commitment.

It's an important position because most programs always want to take at least one high school quarterback to develop. FSU doesn't have a QB committed and we're halfway through the recruiting cycle. They don't have any viable targets left.
