Florida State's work on the recruiting trail continues into the month of May. In just a few weeks, the Seminoles will begin a crucial official visit slate with more than 50 recruits making their way to Tallahassee.

Leading up to the period, the coaching staff is continuing to expand the recruiting board.

Earlier this month, FSU extended a scholarship offer to 2026 athlete Atticus Joseph. A rising senior out of Collins Hill High School, Joseph has added offers to his sheet from programs such as Stanford, Duke, Wake Forest, and FIU, among others, since the beginning of the year.

It's not believed that Joseph has visited Florida State previously during his recruitment.

Joseph is coming off a junior season where he contributed all over the field Eagles. He caught 32 passes for 404 yards and five touchdowns on offense while totaling 17 tackles, one fumble recovery, three pass deflections, and an interception on defense. He also returned 14 punts for 90 yards (6.4 yards per return).

The Georgia native caught a touchdown in five different games. He recorded a season-high eight catches for 65 yards and a score in a 38-14 loss to Grayson High School on November 29.

Joseph attends the same high school as former Florida State commitment, Travis Hunter. A five-star prospect in the 2022 class, Hunter spurned the Seminoles to sign with Jackson State during the Early Signing Period. He ultimately transferred to Colorado and was recently selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars with the No. 2 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

The 5-foot-11, 160-pound wide receiver has not been ranked by 247Sports in the 2026 class.

Florida State holds nine verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 22 in the country. The Seminoles previously landed four-star wide receiver Efrem White and four-star wide receiver Darryon Williams.
