Florida State is still exploring its options and expanding the recruiting board as official visits continue in Tallahassee.

With a new NCAA rule allowing FBS programs to host unlimited official visits, the Seminoles are doing everything they can to get as many recruits to Tallahassee as possible.

On Monday, three-star defensive lineman Joseph Terry announced that he'd pick up an offer from Florida State. Terry referenced defensive coordinator Tony White when revealing the news on social media. White also offered the rising senior when he previously coached at Nebraska.

Terry hasn't set any official visits yet but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Seminoles try to get him in the building in the near future.

Over the last few weeks, Terry has picked up a variety of offers, including interest from Kansas State, Minnesota, California, and Arkansas State.

After a great talk with @FSUCoachTW I am blessed and highly favored to say I have received an offer from @FSUFootball #AG2G @giant_skillz @vscwintoday @CoachGavyn @coachGabeHigerd @RMLineman pic.twitter.com/ShHuKQAcvd

The 6-foot-4, 315-pound defensive lineman is regarded as the No. 161 DL and the No. 158 recruit in California according to 247Sports.

Florida State holds 12 verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 28 in the country. The Seminoles previously landed four-star defensive lineman James Carrington and three-star defensive lineman Wihtlley Cadeau.

FSU is still searching for other options along the defensive interior with prospects such as four-star Kendall Guervil, four-star Deuce Geralds, four-star James Johnson, three-star Cameron Brickle, and three-star Tico Crittendon on the radar.
