Florida State is making strides on #Tribe26 as the summer heats up in Tallahassee. The Seminoles are knee-deep in their rounds of official visits which will continue throughout the remainder of the month.

With that being said, a few recruits have canceled their visits to FSU after going off the board to other schools over the last couple of weeks.

This past weekend, three-star offensive linemen and twins, Courtlin and Courtney Heard, were at Georgia Tech for their official visits. In the aftermath of the trip, the Heard's elected to commit to the Yellow Jackets.

That means they won't be making it to Florida State this upcoming weekend. The twins named the Seminoles to their top-four in May alongside Georgia Tech, Georgia, and Florida. They visited campus in April to meet with new offensive line coach Herb Hand.
