FSU Football Eyeing New QB Recruit With Proven Ability

The Florida State Seminoles have a completely different quarterback unit going into the 2026 season. Redshirt freshman Kevin Sperry is the only signal-caller back who appeared on the two-deep last year.

Florida State has four new faces entering the room this offseason; Auburn's Ashton Daniels, Lafayette College's Dean DeNobile, JUCO Player of the Year Malachi Marshall, and four-star Jaden O'Neal. That's combined with a different voice leading the group as Austin Tucker was promoted to quarterbacks coach following Tony Tokarz's departure to Buffalo.

Things look a lot different in Tallahassee. It remains to be seen if the changes will be enough to get Florida State back on track.

Either way, the Seminoles have to get a lot better at consistently hitting their evaluations and bringing in blue-chip talent on the trail. Head coach Mike Norvell has yet to sign a difference-maker from the prep level at Florida State.

During his junior season at Antioch High Schools, Adams blossed into a star. He completed 174/245 passes for 3,418 yards with 35 touchdowns to one interception. Adams posted a blistering 35-1 TD-INT ratio and connected on 71% of his passes.

Adams added 100 carries for 855 yards and 13 more scores on the ground.

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound quarterback is regarded as the No. 131 overall prospect, the No. 10 QB, and the No. 6 recruit in Tennessee in the 2027 class according to 247Sports.

Adams joins a quarterback board that includes names such as four-star Wonderful Monds IV, and three-star Davin Davidson, and three-star Derrick Baker.
