Florida State football wants to acquire more talent in its 2027 recruiting class. They are currently the 13th-best in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite. This is not where the fan base wants them to be, but it is a solid start to securing a foundation for the program.
Head football coach Mike Norvell was retained for the 2026 season by the administration. This was a decision that was not well-received by the fan base, but the reality of the situation is that the Seminoles don't have the necessary finances at this point.
To be honest, that cannot hold Florida State back, as the Miami Hurricanes made it to the College Football Playoff and recruit at a high level under Mario Cristobal, and the Florida Gators have the "new car smell" with first-year coach Jon Sumrall.
