The Florida State Seminoles are making progress on the recruiting trail as the calendar prepares to flip to April.

In just a few weeks, official visits will begin around the country. The summer is normally the period where the Seminoles stack up commitments, and that plan doesn't look any different for #Tribe27.

For now, Florida State holds a top-25 recruiting class with just five verbal pledges.

That group will grow in the near future, and one of the possible additions could be a fairly new target along the offensive line.

Three-star offensive lineman Shavezz Dixon picked up an offer from the Seminoles in January while on campus for a junior day.

Dixon returned to Tallahassee for Legacy Weekend to cap off the month. Coming out of the visit, he's set a commitment date.

According to 247Sports' Tom Loy, Dixon will announce his decision on July 8 with Florida State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Texas A&M, Clemson, and Virginia among the programs in contention.

Dixon has set official visits with the Seminoles, Yellow Jackets, Aggies, and Tar Heels.

The rising senior was previously pledged to Ole Miss. He reopened his recruitment after Lane Kiffin left for LSU.

The 6-foot-4, 325-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 644 overall prospect, the No. 36 IOL, and the No. 72 recruit in Georgia in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.
