Florida State is continuing to expand its recruiting board midway through April. The Seminoles have been evaluating their options at multiple positions with a crucial summer official visit slate on the horizon.

On Thursday, three-star wide receiver Zayion Cotton picked up an offer from FSU. He referred to special teams analyst Jonathan Rutledge when revealing the news on social media.

Cotton has earned plenty of interest since the new year and he's already scheduled official visits to Arkansas, Mississippi State, North Carolina State, and Memphis. He's not believed to have visited Tallahassee as a recruit previously but that could change with Rutledge's ties to Mississippi. The new face on the coaching staff has already helped with bringing in groups of prospects from the Magnolia State.

As far as Cotton, he's coming off a promising junior season where he caught 48 passes for 700 yards and six touchdowns. He helped guide Grenada High School to its first state championship in program history. Cotton has outstanding size at 6-foot-5 and flashes a boatload of potential.
