Florida State Football Joins Recruitment For Breakout Trench Monster

In this story:
Florida State's defensive line has not met expectations over the last two seasons. However, some young pieces within the program will be major cogs in the present and future, such as high-profile twins Mandrell and Darryll Desir, and former top-100 recruit Kevin Wynn.
It's imperative for the Seminoles to keep bringing young talent through the door and developing those prospects into capable players.

The coaching staff boosted its numbers in #Tribe26, signing seven recruits from the prep level. Florida State might not bulk up #Tribe27 as much on the defensive front, but the position still needs to be addressed.
Florida State Offers Breakout Defender From The Sunshine State

Earlier this week, Florida State offered three-star defensive lineman Errol Demontagnac III.
The rising senior out of Seffner, Florida, has earned 25+ scholarships since the beginning of the year, with programs such as Nebraska, Louisville, Georgia Tech, Syracuse, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Pittsburgh, and North Carolina State joining his recruitment.

Demontagnac III has set official visits to Illinois and Nebraska. He was at Florida State for a junior day in January. Now that the Seminoles have extended an offer, it remains to be seen if they can get him back to Tallahassee this summer.
During his junior season at Armwood High School, Demontagnac III totaled 87 tackles, 30 tackles for loss, 14 sacks, three forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery.
Demontagnac III recorded at least one sack in nine outings. He finished with a season-high 12 tackles, three tackles for loss, and three sacks in a 38-21 victory against Gaither High School on August 22.
The 6-foot-3, 290-pound defensive lineman is regarded as the No. 819 overall prospect, the No. 90 DL, and the No. 84 recruit in Florida in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
