Florida State has put out an intriguing offer on the recruiting trail in the latter stages of July.

The Seminoles have filled out #Tribe26 over the last couple of weeks, rising into the top-15 nationally. There are still some major positions to address.

The main weakness of the class on defense is on the edge. Florida State has missed out on a variety of defensive end targets since the start of the summer.

After expanding the board in recent days, the Seminoles are continuing to take a look at other pass-rushers.

On Saturday, FSU extended a scholarship to three-star defensive end Gustaf Henriks Ras. An international recruit, Henriks Ras plays his prep ball at RIG Academy in Uppsala, Sweden.

Defensive line coach Terrance Knighton revealed the news during a phone call with Henriks Ras.

Henriks Ras has seen his offer sheet grow over the last few picks, earning interest from programs such as Georgia, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Boise State.

After a great call with @Coach_Knighton I'm extremely excited and honored to receive my 12th Division 1 offer from @FSUFootball #FearTheSpear #GoNoles #NoleFamily #KeepCLIMBing @Coach_Norvell @FSUCoachTW @JaleelMcrae @FSUCoachJP @JustinCrouse7 @ChuckCantor @BCollierPPI… pic.twitter.com/R33CpOOGtd

Florida State will be looking to get Henriks Ras on campus at some point during the fall. He's raw at this stage but has a ton of potential if he can put everything together.

The 6-foot-4, 235-pound defensive end is regarded as the No. 875 overall prospect, the No. 78 EDGE, and the No. 2 recruit in Sweden in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

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. However, the quartet of defenders are all expected to begin their careers along the interior.
