Florida State will be hosting Central Arkansas in Week 4, giving the program a chance to bring in recruits for the first time since Week 1. Last time out at Doak Campbell Stadium, the Seminoles hosted a big crop of talent during the near two hour power outage delay, but many recruits and 2027 class Seminoles' commitments still enjoyed the experience. Florida State has a chance to host another batch of recruits, but this time hopefully without another serious delay.
The Seminoles are heading into a much-needed get-right game against Central Arkansas that could give the team a chance to finally work out some of the kinks. Driving home the need to make serious changes in just one week is a very difficult task, but Florida State needs to improve with No. 16 Louisville and No. 6 Miami looming.
Here is the full confirmed visitor list for the Week 4 home game against Central Arkansas. The list is subject to change as the Seminoles' staff has plenty of additional invitations that have been extended to numerous recruits.
Class of 2028
- QB Chase Curren (CA)
- EDGE DeMarcus Dale-Brown (AL)
- OT Eli Williams (GA)
- IOL TJ Brandon (GA)
Class of 2029
- EDGE Jamarion Dunwood (GA)
At the moment, Florida State has a bit of a light visitor group scheduled for the Central Arkansas game, but that is mainly due to the absolutely loaded groups attending the Virginia and Clemson games later this season. The Seminoles currently have 35 recruits booked for visits between the two games, with plenty more expected to join in the near future.
It may not be the biggest group for Florida State, but the staff will have a couple of premier 2028 targets on campus against Central Arkansas. Leading the way is DeMarcus Dale-Brown, an accomplished edge rusher from Mobile, Alabama, who already holds a serious list of scholarship offers. Dale-Brown is the 439th-ranked recruit in the 2028 class and the 42nd overall edge rusher in the class.
Visiting Florida State alongside Dale-Brown will be the California native Chase Curren, a three-star quarterback in the 2028 class who has drawn interest from 19 programs early. Curren is considered to be an athletic dual-threat quarterback who prefers to use his arm over his legs. The Seminoles have a handful of quarterback targets in the 2028 class, but Curren could be the one Florida State moves the quickest with due to the variety of programs interested.
The recruit that truly needs to be monitored moving forward is going to be interior offensive lineman TJ Brandon of Georgia. Brandon has been more of an under-the-radar recruit than the rest of the scheduled visitors, as the offensive lineman is currently not ranked. Brandon visited Florida State during Week 0 and will be visiting again in Week 4 and Week 9 against Clemson.
Brandon is an intriguing recruit for a variety of reasons, but his growing relationship with assistant coach Herb Hand is the most notable. Landing commitments with the current circumstances surrounding the program is not easy, but Brandon could be an early 2028 addition for the Seminoles if the football on the field looks promising.
