Of all positions in #Tribe27, the defensive backfield is in the best shape. Florida State holds three commitments between four-star safety Mekhi Williams, three-star safety Jemari Foreman, and three-star cornerback DaYon Cooper.
That isn't stopping the Seminoles from exploring their options.
Florida State Offers Four-Star Defensive Back
Earlier this week, Florida State extended a scholarship to four-star cornerback and rising senior Joshua Banks.
Banks is a trending prospect out of Texas who holds over 20 offers. Since the beginning of the year, programs such as Texas, Ole Miss, Texas Tech, Arkansas, UCLA, Baylor, Iowa, and LSU, among others, have joined his recruitment.

At this stage, Banks hasn't publicly scheduled any official visits. Considering his growing options, Florida State will have to move quickly if they intend to get him to campus in the next couple of weeks.
During his junior season at Atascocita High School, Banks contributed all over the field. He was credited with one interception on defense, along with eight receptions for 79 yards and one touchdown on offense. Banks racked up 576 return yards, bringing back two punts for scores.
The 6-foot-0, 170-pound defensive back is regarded as the No. 176 overall prospect, the No. 23 CB, and the No. 28 recruit in Texas in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
