Since missing out on all of its top targets and backup plans over the last six weeks, Florida State has stayed diligent in expanding its defensive end board.

The Seminoles have joined the recruitments of a few new names as of late, including three-star international prospect Gustaf Henriks Ras, three-star LSU commit DeAnthony Lafayette, and three-star NC State commit Elijah Satchell.

Florida State has continued to evaluate prospects who fit what the program is building, leading to a recent scholarship offer.

On Wednesday, the Seminoles extended an offer to three-star defensive end Chris Carbin, who pledged his services to Georgia Tech on July 4. This is the second member of the Yellow Jackets' class that Florida State is trying to flip after offering three-star offensive tackle Bear Fretwell on July 18.

Carbin chose Georgia Tech over Mississippi State, Baylor, Louisville, and Virginia Tech.

The Georgia native has yet to take a visit to Florida State this year. That could change once the fall begins.

As a junior at Hillgrove High School, Carbin totaled 49 tackles, nine tackles for loss, six sacks, one fumble recovery, one interception, and two pass deflections. He recorded 5+ tackles in five of his 11 appearances, including eight total tackles in two different games.

The 6-foot-4, 236-pound defensive end is regarded as the No. 778 overall prospect, the No. 75 EDGE, and the No. 85 recruit in Georgia in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.

Florida State holds 21 verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 15 in the country.

The Seminoles previously landed four-star defensive lineman Earnest Rankins, four-star defensive lineman Tico Crittendon Jr., four-star defensive lineman Tank Carrington, and three-star defensive lineman Wihtlley Cadeau.
