The Florida State Seminoles are inside the top-10 in the recruitment of a blue-chip offensive lineman in the 2027 class.

Early on in #Tribe27, the Seminoles sit amongst the best in the country with three commitments. Head coach Mike Norvell and his staff will look to add to the group over the coming years.

Earlier this month, four-star offensive lineman Jatori Williams announced he was cutting things down to ten. Florida State was included on the list alongside Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia Tech, and Mississippi State.

Williams has held an offer from the Seminoles since January. He took an unofficial visit to Tallahassee in March and returned in April. FSU will likely be trying to get him to a home game in the fall.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 115 overall prospect, the No. 4 IOL, and the No. 4 recruit in Alabama in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

Florida State holds three verbal commitments in its 2027 class which ranks No. 5 in the country.
