Everyone has seen posts on Facebook and Twitter about how well signing day went this year for our football program. FSU football landed 15 four-star recruits, six three-star recruits and one five-star recruit. ESPN’s ranking breakdown goes as such:
Rare prospects (five stars): these players demonstrate rare abilities and have an obvious impact on the game. They have skills to take over a game and make a possible impact as a true freshman. They also have the potential to have early entry into the NFL draft.
Outstanding prospects (four stars): these players could contribute as a true freshman and could end up as all-conference or all-America candidates during their collegiate careers. They make a difference in the game and develop over time.
Good prospects (three stars): these players show flashes of dominance, but not on a consistent basis when matched up with the best players in the country. They have the ability to play at a high caliber but are more likely to succeed in non-BCS conference programs.

The top recruit coming in is Cornerback Levonta Taylor, this year’s five-star recruit. Overall FSU football landed 25 total commits.

Since FSU’s program is losing Roberto Aguayo to the NFL next year, it’s only appropriate that his younger brother take his place. Ricky Aguayo is among the recruits officially signed to FSU for this upcoming fall. Our program signed the best offensive line class in the entire country, which is outstanding! You can check out some of the new recruits play in the FSU spring game, which will take place in Orlando on April 9 at 5 p.m.! Get excited for FSU’s 2016 football season!
