In this story:
Florida State's coaching staff isn't slowing down as new offers continue to go out on the recruiting trail. The Seminoles are setting themselves up with plenty of options with the spring and summer quickly approaching.
On Tuesday, three-star EDGE Chris Addison picked up an offer from FSU. He referred to a conversation with defensive line coach Terrance Knighton and running backs coach David Johnson when revealing the news on social media. Johnson is the area recruiter for the Seminoles in the state of Louisiana.
Addison is an intriguing prospect who has earned plenty of FBS interest since the calendar flipped to 2025. FSU, TCU, Mississippi State, Michigan State, Vanderbilt, Tulane, Coastal Carolina, and Arkansas State. He's already locked in official visits to Houston, Michigan State, and Tulane.
