4-star Nebraska commitment locks in official visit to FSU Football

Florida State has plenty of Nebraska ties on its coaching staff after an offseason overhaul by head coach Mike Norvell. From defensive coordinator Tony White to defensive line coach Terrance Knighton and safeties coach Evan Cooper along with multiple members of the off-field staff and players on the roster, the bond runs deep in Tallahassee.

Now, the Seminoles are eyeing a blue-chip recruit who is committed to Nebraska to add to their #Tribe26 class.

According to On3, four-star cornerback CJ Bronaugh has scheduled an official visit to Florida State from June 13-15. He's also expected to check out Florida, Nebraska, and Penn State. Bronaugh pledged to the Cornhuskers in November.

Bronaugh is coming off a standout junior season where he totaled 30 tackles, three tackles for loss, two sacks, one forced fumble, four pass deflections and six interceptions, three of which he returned for a touchdown.

The 6-foot-1, 166-pound defensive back is regarded as the No. 72 overall prospect, the No. 7 CB, and the No. 8 recruit in Florida in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.

Florida State holds eight verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 13 in the country. The Seminoles previously landed four-star safety Darryl Bell III and four-star safety Tedarius Hughes.
