Florida State targets Miami Hurricanes pledge with scholarship offer

Football season, offseason, it doesn't matter; recruiting never ends. And when it gets to the point where you have a little momentum in your pocket, it's smart to take advantage of it.

Florida State has caught the attention of the entire country following a 2-0 start that finds the program sitting at No. 10 in the AP Top 25 Poll.

In the aftermath of the two victories, the Seminoles have added a trio of commitments to three different classes, stacking up #Tribe26 (WR Jonah Winston, #Tribe27 (DB Jemari Foreman), and #Tribe28 (WR Lamar Garrison).

FSU is impressing recruits and that could lead to good news during the Early Signing Period and future recruiting cycles.
