This is a big week for Florida State football.

Not only have the Seminoles returned to the practice fields following an extended spring break, they're also welcoming some important visitors to Tallahassee.

At the top of the list are a pair of quarterbacks that Florida State is recruiting heavily. Four-star Israel Abrams viewed practice on Tuesday, while four-star Jake Nawrot will be in town on Tuesday.

Coming out of the trip, Abrams made it clear that he enjoyed his experience.

Four-Star QB Plans To Return To Florida State "Real Soon"

Abrams thanked Florida State's coaching staff for the trip, specifically referencing head coach Mike Norvell and quarterbacks coach Austin Tucker.

"Seminoles did not disappoint. Thank you to the entire FSU Football staff for showing me and my family love," Abrams wrote on social media. "Coach Norvell's passion and energy is real and unmatched. Thank you coach Tucker for taking the time to talk ball and watch film. I'm looking forward to getting back to FSU Football real soon."

Abrams is one of Florida State's most realistic options at quarterback at this stage. He's scheduled to return to town for an official visit this summer from June 14-16. Purdue, Auburn, Kentucky, and Tennessee are some of the teams in the running for Abrams.

The Seminoles just offered Abrams in January, and Tuesday marked his first-ever visit to Florida State. This was a good starting point for the program, but there is more work to do.

Last season, Abrams was named the MaxPreps Illinois High School Football Player of the Year. He completed 233/340 passes for 4,072 yards with 40 touchdowns to six interceptions while adding 82 rushes for 224 yards and ten more scores.

Abrams threw for 250+ yards in eight of his 14 appearances, including a season-high 23/33 passing for 600 yards with four touchdowns to zero turnovers in a 55-54 victory against Carmel High School on October 3.

He led Montini Catholic High School to a 14-0 record and state championship.

The 6-foot-4, 187-pound quarterback is regarded as the No. 44 overall prospect, the No. 3 QB, and the No. 2 recruit in Illinois in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
