In this story:
Football is back on the menu.
With Florida State returning to Doak Campbell Stadium, thousands of fans were on hand to witness the victory over New Mexico State. The Seminoles were also one of the few teams playing in Week 0, which allowed them to get some extra recruits in the stands.

While FSU has established a foundation in #Tribe27, the coaching staff is still looking to bring more pieces into the fold leading up to the Early Signing Period.
The Seminoles took a step forward this weekend.
FSU Offers Emerging Defensive Lineman Jeremiah Mark

On Sunday, 2027 defensive lineman Jeremiah Mark announced that he'd received an offer from Florida State. He referred to defensive line coach Terrance Knighton and director of football strategy Gabe Fertitta when sharing the news on social media.
Mark was in Tallahassee for the first time this weekend. He watched the Seminoles take down the Aggies and spent a considerable amount of time with the staff.
Knighton would obviously be Mark's future position coach at the college level. However, Fertitta has ties to Mississippi. Fertitta played and was a graduate assistant at Mississippi College. Later on, he held the offensive coordinator role at Itawamba Community College and was the head coach at St. Stanislaus High School.
After primarily focusing on basketball during his prep career, Mark is getting a legitimate look on the gridiron. Along with Florida State, Miami, Ole Miss, Alabama, and LSU have all joined his recruitment.
#AGTG!!! After a great game day visit with @Coach_Knighton @Fertitta_Gabe I’m blessed to receive an offer from @FSUFootball!!!! @Coach_Norvell 🙌🏽

Mark could continue to emerge during his senior season. In his first appearance for Picayune Memorial High School, Mark totaled 2 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 sack, and 1 pass deflection.
A decision isn't expected until later this year. It wouldn't be a surprise if he waits until December.
The 6-foot-5, 275-pound defensive lineman remains unranked in the 2027 class at this stage.
