4-star offensive lineman trims recruitment down to five, FSU Football makes the cut

Florida State is in the hunt for a four-star prospect who decommitted from Tennessee a few weeks ago.

On Monday evening, four-star offensive lineman Brandon Anderson announced he was trimming his recruitment down to five. The Seminoles made the cut alongside Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, and Tennessee.

Anderson was in Tallahassee for an unofficial visit at the beginning of February. The trip came in the days following his decision to back off his pledge to the Volunteers. Anderson has already scheduled an official visit to Florida State from June 13-15. He's also expected to check out his other four finalists this summer.

The Seminoles have their work cut out for them but offensive line coach Herb Hand and head coach Mike Norvell impressed Anderson during his previous visit. They'll have to do the same thing in a few months.

The Georgia native spent his junior season at North Cobb High School. The Warriors went 11-1 and advanced into the playoffs with Anderson starting at right tackle. He projects to play along the interior at the college level.

The 6-foot-4, 320-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 354 overall prospect, the No. 28 IOL, and the No. 41 recruit in Georgia in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.
