Florida State officially announces signing of 23 prospects during Early Signing Period

The Seminoles have nine signees ranked in the top-25 nationally at their position.

Florida State had a busy couple of days during the Early Signing Period. The Seminoles ended up officially signing 23 prospects - 16 high school recruits, one Junior College transfer, and six NCAA Transfer Portal prospects - but not without plenty of drama.

The program secured two uncommitted prospects on Wednesday; three-star defensive back Edwin Joseph and three-star offensive lineman Chris Otto. The Seminoles were also able to win out in a wild recruitment for four-star safety Conrad Hussey, who flipped his longtime commitment from Penn State. 

There was one black mark on the class as four-star defensive end Keldric Faulk flipped to Auburn.
