Highlight He'd Be The Only QB In The Class

That's when I'd highlight he'd be the only quarterback in the 2026 recruiting class and FSU already has some talented receivers committed, and several young players on the roster ready to make that jump to contributor status.

FSU only took one high school quarterback in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That should hold weight and it's not like there are other quarterbacks of his caliber that have a mutual interest in FSU.

That should make it easier to point out how much of a priority he is. Whether it be by default or necessity, he's the guy they have to get in this recruiting class to help build the class around.
