The board is thinning out for the Seminoles.

Florida State's recruiting board is taking another hit as the second half of June begins.

The Seminoles fleshed out their options on the trail during the winter and spring but some of those recruits have committed elsewhere.

On Monday evening, four-star offensive tackle Samuel Roseborough announced he was committing to Texas A&M over Florida State, Texas, and Ohio State.

Roseborough was one of FSU's top targets at offensive tackle and the most highly-regarded option still on the board. Instead, he became the second recruit to pledge elsewhere to begin the week as three-star offensive tackle Tyler Chukuyem went public with the Florida Gators.

The Florida native was in Tallahassee for an official visit from May 30 to June 1. He also visited Florida State for a junior day in January and a spring practice in April.

The Seminoles won't stop pursuing Roseborough until the Early Signing Period but it won't be easy to flip him from the Aggies.
