#Tribe27 did net a tight end early on as three-star prospect Connor Winn joined the fold in July of last year.

FSU is searching for at least one more tight end to add to the class, as the room will lose at least two players following the 2026 campaign.

Florida State extended a scholarship to rising senior tight end DeShaun Thomas following an unofficial visit to campus in March.

Thomas has now set an official visit to Tallahassee. He will return to town from June 19-21.

As of now, Florida State and Pittsburgh are the two programs that will host Thomas this summer. His slate could grow in the coming weeks.

Thomas holds over 20 offers, including interest from Louisville, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and Syracuse.

During his junior season at Merritt Island High School, Thomas caught 41 passes for 570 yards and five touchdowns while rushing 24 times for 97 yards and six more scores. He also totaled 31 tackles, two tackles for loss, and one sack on defense.

Thomas recorded a season-high four catches for 94 yards and a touchdown in a 39-8 victory against Palm Bay High School on September 12.

The Florida native competes on the hardwood as well.

The 6-foot-3, 230-pound tight end has yet to be ranked by 247Sports.

Four-star George Lamons Jr., four-star Sam Faniel, three-star Colton Johnson, and three-star Carter Blackwell are some other names to know at tight end for the Seminoles.
