FSU Football Targeting New RB After Recent Recruiting Decisions
The Florida State Seminoles have expanded their recruiting board over the last few months. With spring practice concluding in mid-April, the coaching staff has been hard at work on the recruiting trail.
The Seminoles are popping up around the country to check in with their top targets and extend scholarships to new names. There's a noticeable effort to get #Tribe27 back on track, though that will be determined by just how successful Florida State is throughout June and July.

Running backs coach Kam Martin brings a ton of energy to the table. He's adding another recruit to his list with the Seminoles still looking for an addition in the backfield.
Florida State Joins The Hunt For Four-Star RB
Florida State is the most recent program to offer four-star running back Daylon Gordon, who referred to Martin when revealing the news on social media.
The rising senior out of Texas is a blue-chip prospect with nearly 20 scholarships under his belt. Oklahoma State and Utah have joined Gordon's recruitment this offseason.
So far, Gordon has a lone official visit scheduled to Houston from June 4-6. The Seminoles will likely be pushing for a spot this summer.

During his junior season at Wylie High School, Gordon recorded 140 carries for 840 yards and 11 touchdowns while adding 39 receptions for 558 yards and four more scores. Gordon also contributed as a returner on special teams, bringing back a kickoff for a touchdown.
Gordon rushed for 100+ yards in four games, including a season-high 22 carries for 238 yards and two touchdowns in a 49-28 victory against Lakeview Centennial High School on October 30.

Outside of Gordon, Florida State is monitoring targets such as four-star Jayden Miles, three-star Tai Phillips, three-star Asa Barnes, and three-star Marquis Fennell.
