The Seminoles have fortified the position in recent weeks.

Florida State has missed out on a wide receiver target to a fellow ACC program.

The Seminoles have stacked up #Tribe26 at the position recently, landing four-star Devin Carter, four-star Jasen Lopez, and four-star Brandon Bennett to add to four-star Efrem White and four-star Darryon Williams.

That has a new development on the recruiting trail hitting as a slight sting rather than a major loss.

On Thursday, four-star wide receiver Keeyun Chapman announced his commitment to North Carolina over Florida State. Chapman had been trending to the Tar Heels after his brother, three-star cornerback Keegan Chapman, pledged to the program last week.

Chapman officially visited the Seminoles from June 6-8. He picked up an offer from Florida State earlier this offseason.

During his junior season, Chapman caught 51 passes for 1,322 yards and 17 touchdowns. He scored at least one touchdown in ten games and reached the end zone twice in seven different contests.

The 6-foot-4, 195-pound wide receiver is regarded as the No. 171 overall prospect, the No. 24 WR, and the No. 10 recruit in Alabama in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

Florida State holds 21 verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 11 in the country.
