Florida State is surging on the recruiting trail with the summer in full swing in Tallahassee. After sitting outside the top-30 in the class rankings earlier this month, the Seminoles now find themselves threatening to break into the top-10 after landing ten commitments in the last 15 days.

The good news continued on Tuesday as the Seminoles picked up their third pledge in roughly 24 hours. Three-star offensive lineman Jakobe Green has committed to Florida State after recently re-opening his recruitment.

Green was at Florida State for an official visit a few weeks ago. He made the trek to Mississippi State this past weekend, the program he was originally pledged to since February.

A relatively new target, the Seminoles offered Green a scholarship back in late May. It didn't take long for him to set up a trip to campus. Green is a local prospect who is spending his senior season at Gadsden County High School. He played at Niceville High School last year, the same prep program that produced standout cornerback and top-100 NFL Draft pick, Azareye'h Thomas.

Green also held offers from Florida, Miami, Boston College, Ole Miss, Wake Forest, and UCF, among others. He projects to play along the interior at the college level.

The 6-foot-3, 335-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 572 overall prospect, the No. 50 IOL, and the No. 82 recruit in Florida in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.

With the addition of Green, Florida State holds 18 verbal commitments in its 2026 class. The haul ranks No. 10 in the country.

The Seminoles previously landed three-star offensive lineman Michael Ionata.
