Florida State is among the final contenders for an offensive tackle target in the 2026 class.

Leading up to an official visit later this month, three-star offensive tackle Tyler Chukuyem has included the Seminoles in his final four alongside Florida, Ole Miss, and Cincinnati.

Chukuyem was offered by Florida State back in May and he'll be in Tallahassee from June 20-22. The Seminoles will need to make sure that trip happens as Chukuyem announced plans to commit on Saturday, June 16.

The Georgia native has already seen Ole Miss and Cincinnati with a trip to Florida on the docket this weekend.

Chukuyem was the starting right tackle at South Paulding High School as a junior.

The 6-foot-6, 290 pound offensive lineman is ranked as the No. 36 OT and the No. 46 recruit in Georgia in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.

Florida State holds ten verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 32 in the country. The Seminoles previously landed three-star offensive tackle Xavier Payne and three-star interior offensive lineman Michael Ionata.

Other options on the board at offensive tackle include four-star Samuel Roseborough, three-star Aaron Thomas, three-star Da'Ron Parks, three-star Javeion Cooper, and three-star Ben Mubenga.
