Recruiting target commits to Baylor over Florida State

Recent commitments for the Seminoles likely led to a target to commit elsewhere.

Florida State's offensive line class has begun to grow over the last few days. Since Sunday, the Seminoles have netted commitments from three-star international recruit Luke Fancis and three-star interior offensive lineman Jakobe Green.

The recent additions mean FSU and offensive line coach Herb Hand are now focused on the offensive tackle position to shore up #Tribe26.

That means some targets who were previously on the board are no longer takes at this stage for Florida State.

On Tuesday evening, three-star offensive lineman Donel Robinson Jr. announced his pledge to Baylor over the Seminoles. Robinson Jr. was in Tallahassee for his official visit over the weekend but likely lost his spot with Francis and Green hopping on board.

After all, Robinson Jr. is expected to contribute along the interior at the college level.

Robinson Jr. picked up an offer from Florida State back in January. His trip to campus last weekend was his first time visiting the Seminoles this year.

The 6-foot-4, 290-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 392 overall prospect, the No. 32 IOL, and the No. 15 recruit in Mississippi in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

Florida State holds 19 verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 9 in the country. Along with Francis and Green, the Seminoles previously landed three-star offensive lineman Michael Ionata.
