FSU Football offers No. 1 JUCO recruit, Georgia Bulldogs commitment

Florida State is continuing to expand its defensive line recruiting board as the spring approaches. New position coach Terrance Knighton is ready to rebuild the trenches and that starts with consistently getting talent into the program.

On Tuesday, the Seminoles extended an offer to three-star JUCO defensive lineman and Georgia commit, Seven Cloud. Ranked as the No. 1 junior college recruit in the country, Cloud has been pledged to the Bulldogs since December.

Cloud has picked up a couple of new suitors since the new year, including Miami and LSU. It's not believed that he's ever visited Florida State previously so the coaching staff will have to get on campus at some point within the next few months whether that's an official visit or an unofficial trip.

During his second season at the JUCO level, Cloud totaled 48 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, one pass deflection, and three blocked kicks. He recorded a season-high ten tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, and one blocked kick in a 21-14 loss to Snow College on September 28.

Cloud will have two years of eligibility remaining when he signs with an FBS program in December. It will be no easy task to flip him from the Bulldogs. He grew up in the Peach State prior to suiting up for Butler Community College.

The 6-foot-4, 300-pound defensive lineman is regarded as the No. 1 JUCO recruit, the No. 1 JUCO DL, and the No. 1 JUCO recruit from Georgia in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.

Florida State holds seven verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 12 in the country. The Seminoles don't have a pledge from a defensive lineman at this stage but are hoping to change that in the near future.
