FSU football: 3 needs in 2025 recruiting class after Daylan McCutcheon commitment

The linebacker position has been the most frustrating for FSU fans. The Noles have a quality prospect committed in Ethan Pritchard and were in good standing for at least two more targets. Tavion Wallace shocked everyone and committed to Arkansas(that won't stick), and Zaydrius Rainey-Sale decided to stay home in Washington State, which didn't surprise too many. Gavin Nix committed to the Miami Hurricanes, but FSU didn't really go all out for him. However, FSU still needs at least one more linebacker in the 2025 recruiting class.
They could continue recruiting Wallace(I wouldn't after how he handled his recruitment leading up to committing to Arkansas). Rainey-Sale and Nix are likely not realistic at this point. However, FSU has one more top-tier target in blue-chip Ty Jackson. Jackson is the No. 108 player and No. 14 linebacker nationally. He has set an official visit to FSU for the Florida Gators game at the end of November. His recruitment will be a dogfight between FSU, UGA, Florida, Alabama, and Tennessee. If FSU can get one more blue-chip linebacker, it would answer a lot of questions about the position and linebacker coach Randy Shannon.
