Florida State's offensive line is going to look a lot different next season. All five starters have exhausted their eligibility, and the only players remaining on the roster are largely unproven and inexperienced.

That means it's a big offseason for the Seminoles in the trenches. From the prep ranks, JUCO level, and transfer portal, FSU needs to find talent that can make an immediate impact in Tallahassee.

On Tuesday evening, three-star offensive lineman Steven Moore announced his commitment to Florida State over an offer list that included Oklahoma State, Arkansas State, Fresno State, and Charlotte, among others.

The Seminoles recently popped up on the radar for Moore, hosting him for an official visit shortly after the loss to the Florida Gators. Florida State offered him earlier in the day, and he didn't waste any time hopping on board.

Moore is a sophomore at Garden City Community College. He's spent the last two years as a starter at left guard.

The Tennessee native will have two years of eligibility remaining in Tallahassee.

The 6-foot-5, 310-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 102 overall JUCO prospect, the No. 16 JUCO OT, and the No. 22 JUCO recruit in Tennessee in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

Information On Florida State's 2026 class

With the addition of Moore, Florida State holds 29 verbal commitments in its 2026 class. The haul ranks No. 13 in the country.

The Seminoles previously landed three-star offensive lineman Michael Ionata, three-star offensive lineman Jakobe Green, three-star offensive lineman Luke Francis, and three-star offensive lineman Steven Pickard Jr.
