The Florida State Seminoles are closing in on an important chapter on the recruiting trail. With #Tribe27 sliding out of the top 30 in the class rankings, there's an opportunity for the Seminoles to begin turning things around this summer.
The coaching staff will welcome a growing crop of official visitors to Tallahassee. Florida State is still in the process of adding more names to its list.

FSU Offers Three-Star WR Committed To Nebraska
On Monday, Florida State offered three-star wide receiver and Nebraska commitment Kaden Howard.
Howard is a rising senior out of South Florida who brings plenty of speed to the table. He averaged 20.5 yards per catch last year, and his athleticism has been recognized on the track.
Over the weekend, Howard won his regional championship with a 10.37 100-meter dash.

Howard committed to Nebraska towards the end of March. However, he's still entertaining other programs. Howard has official visits set to Nebraska and UCF next month.
It's possible Florida State could earn a spot on Howard's slate with the offer now in his hand.
During his junior season at Miami Palmetto Senior High School, Howard caught 25 passes for 510 yards and seven touchdowns while rushing two times for 61 yards and another score.
The 5-foot-10, 155-pound wide receiver is regarded as the No. 1029 overall prospect, the No. 125 WR, and the No. 109 recruit in Florida in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
