On Thursday, the Seminoles extended an offer to JUCO offensive lineman Keyshawn Blackstock. He mentioned offensive line coach Alex Atkins and graduate assistant Cooper Williams upon announcing the news on social media.

The Georgia native has spent the past two years at Coffeyville Community College. He played his prep ball at Newton High School. Blackstock's recruitment has been heating up over the past few weeks. He's reported 39 scholarship offers since August 10, including Auburn, Illinois, Florida, Oregon, Penn State, and Tennessee, among others.

Blackstock took an unofficial visit to UTSA over the summer. He was at Illinois for an official visit last weekend for the Fighting Illini's victory against Minnesota.

The 6-foot-5, 315-pound lineman is expected to graduate in December and enroll at his next stop in January with three years to play two. Florida State could potentially use a stopgap option with starting guards, Dillan Gibbons and D'Mitri Emmanuel, as well as starting tackle Jazston Turnetine set to graduate following the season.

He's not currently ranked according to 247Sports.
