The Florida State Seminoles are a college football powerhouse with the ability to recruit high level talent both in their Sunshine State backyard and throughout the country.

The Seminoles are known for recruiting top tier talent at a multitude of positions, with the secondary oftentimes regarded as a high priority position unit on their football team.

On Sunday, an under-the-radar yet high profile high school football recruit revealed that he had been given the chance to play for coach Mike Norvell's team as he revealed an update on the recruiting process.

"Blessed to receive an offer from Florida State!" Class of 2027 free safety/wide receiver Charles Woodson Jr. wrote on his X account Sunday.

The post was viewed over 42,000 times signaling a major improvement for a player who has gone from a relative unknown to a highly sought after prospect in short order.

Woodson Jr. is the son of 1997 national champion and Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson, who played at the University of Michigan for former coach Lloyd Carr's team.

Woodson went on to win a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers and nearly led the Oakland Raiders to the Super Bowl before losing to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in 2001.

The Lake Nona (Orlando, FL) native Woodson, Jr. has risen to a four-star prospect on On3.com, and has offers from Ole Miss, Kentucky and Texas A&M among other teams.

He has not received an offer from his father's alma mater yet, which fans clamored for in the comments section while congratulating him on his FSU offer.
