On Tuesday, four-star offensive tackle Samuel Roseborough announced he was trimming his recruitment down to five. Florida State made the cut alongside Ohio State, LSU, Texas, and Texas A&M.

Roseborough has been to Tallahassee twice this year, attending a junior day in February and observing a spring practice in April. He's slated to return for an official visit later this month that will begin on May 30.

The Florida native is one of Florida State's most realistic options among offensive tackles. He spent his junior season as the starting right tackle at Clearwater High School.

The 6-foot-5, 285-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 130 overall prospect, the No. 7 IOL, and the No. 16 recruit in Florida in the 2026 class according to 247Sports.

Florida State holds nine verbal commitments in its 2026 class which ranks No. 18 in the country. The Seminoles previously landed three-star offensive tackle Xavier Payne and three-star interior offensive lineman Michael Ionata.
