Offensive Line Board Thins As Florida State Misses On Another Recruit

The Florida State Seminoles are looking for additions across the board in #Tribe27. While May delivered two commitments, the Seminoles have a long way to go as the summer unfolds.

FSU's offensive line appears to be in solid shape under position coach Herb Hand. However, Hand and the Seminoles have primarily relied on the NCAA transfer portal to fortify the trenches over the past two seasons.

As we've seen, that's not necessarily a sustainable process. Acquiring and developing recruits from the prep level is something Florida State has failed to do consistently for over a decade.

In the early stages of June, the Seminoles aren't doing themselves many favors on the recruiting trail.

Three-Star OL Off The Board To North Carolina Over Florida State, Others

On Friday, three-star offensive lineman Shavezz Dixon committed to North Carolina over Florida State, Georgia Tech, Virginia, and Pittsburgh. Dixon made the decision ahead of his official visit to Chapel Hill later this month.

The Seminoles had been pursuing Dixon since January, when they entered his recruitment with an offer. Dixon was in town earlier this year for Legacy Weekend.

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. 593 overall prospect, the No. 37 IOL, and the No. 72 recruit in Georgia in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

Dixon is at least the seventh offensive linemen to commit elsewhere over the last few weeks, joining four-star Jatori Williams (Miami), four-star JJ Brown (Clemson), four-star Elijah Morrison (Clemson), four-star Carter Jones (Clemson), three-star Noah Nixon (Pittsburgh), and three-star Luke Burger (Vanderbilt).
