Blue-chip prospect trims recruitment to ten, FSU Football makes the cut

The recruiting timeline has basically been expedited compared to years past with the Early Signing Period taking place earlier than ever before. Considering the majority of recruits sign in December, that means rising seniors around the country are already preparing to release top lists and make verbal commitments.

On Tuesday, four-star offensive lineman Samuel Roseborough announced he was trimming his recruitment down to ten schools. Florida State made the cut alongside Florida, Georgia, Ohio State, LSU, Texas, Michigan, Texas A&M, Alabama, and Penn State.

Roseborough has held an offer from the Seminoles since April of last year. However, his trip to Tallahassee for a junior day earlier this month marked his first opportunity to meet with new offensive line coach Herb Hand since the latter was officially hired by the program in December.

The Florida native spent his junior season as the starting right tackle at Clearwater High School. He's expected to shift to the interior at the college level.

The 6-foot-5, 285-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 110 overall prospect, the No. 8 IOL, and the No. 16 recruit in Florida in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.

Florida State holds six verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 12 in the country. The Seminoles picked up a pledge from three-star offensive lineman Xavier Payne in late December.
