College football fans can no longer enjoy the February Signing Period anymore because most prospects have elected to go the route of enrolling early, which is smart because they get with their respective programs earlier.
However, it still ruins the old times of skipping school/work for the February Signing Period to see who your team got in the high school ranks. I might sound like an old geezer reminiscing on the times of the past, but college football is filled with unpredictability now.
Florida State had a productive 2026 recruiting class, which included 32 prospects. This ranked as the 14th-best recruiting class in the 247Sports Composite. This isn't better than the Jimbo Fisher days, where he was racking in top-five hauls, but this is a solid foundation to build on.
Florida State landed Tallahassee products Trent Rogers and Keenen Jeune on Signing Day
Florida State's roster is filled to the max with scholarship players, but the Seminoles could still obtain preferred walk-on pieces that can make a name for themselves (see Treshaun Ward for an example). The coaching staff grabbed three-star offensive tackle Donald Akhibi earlier in the day.
The Seminoles made more moves on the actual Signing Day, as they landed linebacker Trent Rogers from Godby High School in Tallahassee, Florida, as well as wide receiver Keenen Jeune from Florida State University High School in Tallahassee, Florida.

Rogers had 71 tackles (seven for loss) during his senior year at Godby High School (according to MaxPreps). Assistant coach Ernie Sims has continued to stack talent at the linebacker position this offseason in hopes of making the second level of the defense special.
As for Jeune, he had 46 receptions for 759 yards and five touchdowns during his senior season at Florida State University High School (according to MaxPreps). This was the same high school that current wide receiver Micahi Danzy hailed from. Hopefully, the speedster can show Jeune a thing or two about being able to make an impact on the field.
While I understand that both are preferred walk-ons, it is great to see Tallahassee natives staying home to continue their athletic and academic careers at Florida State.
