Florida State Seminoles football gets great recruiting news

The Florida State Seminoles have been on a recruiting hot streak as the dog days of summer move on.

The 'Noles currently hold the No. 15 overall class for 2026 with 22 verbal commitments and, after securing one of head coach Mike Norvell's highest-rated recruits in five-star cornerback Chauncey Kennon, got another wave of good news on Sunday.

Three-star linebacker Karon Maycock has officially shut down his recruitment, per Zach Blostein of 247Sports. The 6'1'', 200-pound Miami Central product has been committed to Florida State since February, and after wrapping up official visits to Florida, Alabama, Miami, and Syracuse, has decided to end the recruiting process. He wrapped up his official visit with the Seminoles in late June.

"I'm not taking any more visits; I'm locked in, fully locked in," Maycock told 247Sports.

Florida State's linebacker recruiting has recently fallen under scrutiny over the years, prompting a coaching change that was a part of a staff overhaul last year. Maycock joins three-star LB Noah LaVallee in #Tribe26 under new linebackers coach and special teams coordinator John Papuchis.

Maycock's ranking may not leap off the screen, but he recorded 62 tackles during his junior season, including 17 tackles for loss and three sacks in eight games, according to MaxPreps. He also forced two fumbles and broke up three passes. He has also shown a high ceiling with the potential to thrive at the next level.
