Florida State Head Coach Mike Norvell Visits Coveted Offensive Tackle Target

Florida State has nearly wrapped up its 2025 recruiting class. The Seminoles got the bulk of the work done in December during the Early Signing Period and through the NCAA Transfer Portal but there are still a few targets on the board ahead of February's traditional National Signing Day.
FSU may be the favorite for four-star offensive tackle Chastan Brown as he enters the final stages of his recruitment. Head coach Mike Norvell dropped in on Brown on Monday ahead of his visit to Tallahassee later this month. The blue-chip prospect has been showing the Seminoles a lot of love over the last few weeks.
Brown was previously committed to new Florida State offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and offensive line coach Herb Hand when the pair were at UCF. The Seminoles offered him last month while Malzahn and Hand were transitioning to their new roles.

The 6-foot-7, 270-pound offensive tackle is regarded as the No. 226 overall prospect, the No. 21 OT, and the No. 33 recruit in Georgia in the 2025 class according to 247Sports.
Florida State holds 38 total members in its 2025 class which ranks No. 18 in the country. The Seminoles are bringing in seven new offensive linemen through the transfer portal and prep recruiting.
