Top EDGE Target Commits To Florida State Following Official Visit

The pieces are slowly starting to come together for Florida State's #Tribe27 recruiting class. Following a mostly quiet spring, the Seminoles are finding their footing as the summer heat swelters over Tallahassee.

Over the last two weeks, Florida State has added over half of its current pledges into the fold. That includes blue-chip talent such as four-star running back Jayden Miles, four-star wide receiver Sean Green, and four-star linebacker Jernard Albright.

The Seminoles are making another addition coming out of their third weekend of official visits.

Three-Star DE Chooses Florida State Over Virginia Tech, Auburn

On Sunday, three-star defensive end Jaxon Holly wrapped up his official visit to Florida State. Shortly after the trip, Holly announced that he was committing to the Seminoles, choosing the program over Virginia Tech and Auburn.

Holly is one of Florida State's top targets off the edge. He was a recruit that EDGE's coach Nick Williams pursued at Syracuse. That didn't change once Williams was hired by the Seminoles, as he offered Holly days after taking a new job.

The rising senior was on campus for an unofficial visit in April. His visit over the weekend helped Florida State shut down Holly's recruitment.

Holly previously took official visits to Virginia Tech and Auburn.

During his junior season at Roswell High School, Holly totaled 32 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 2 pass deflections.

The 6-foot-3.5, 225-pound defensive end is regarded as the No. 627 overall prospect, the No. 53 EDGE, and the No. 76 recruit in Georgia in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.

Holly joins a defensive line class that includes four-star defensive end Anthony Cavallaro and three-star defensive lineman Eric Vaulx Jr.
