FSU Football: December 16-18th Official Visitor Target List *Updated*
Renegade Report brings you the latest recruiting with coaches on the road and the major official visit weekend starting to come together. Updated 5pm 12/14
Top Players expected on campus this weekend.
This is the very last major recruiting weekend of the year prior to the early signing period. This is Florida State’s last weekend to solidify they current sixteen high-school commits if any are wavering. The main thing fans are salivating for is of course… Pancakes? Can the Noles pull off any big flips this weekend? Will Norvell amd company land some portal commitments? We will have to wait and see but let’s take a look at who may be on campus this weekend.
This target list will be constantly updated up until Friday evening when I will post an Official Visitors currently on-campus article.
Andy Jean | UF WR Commit
Twitter | @centralnorvell
What began as a pseudo UF visit for Andy Jean inside Doak Campbell stadium may be turning into real smoke as the Staff try’s to get him back on campus for an official visit this weekend according several sources. As much as I have resisted acknowledging this recruitment it is obviously gaining steam. This is a big-time weekend for Florida State, let’s watch and see how it goes.
Keith Sampson | 4* FSU Commit
Twitter | @BSonnone
Keith Sampson is a long time commitment coming to spend the weekend with his family in Tallahassee. He is all nole and this weekend should absolutely seal the deal for this crucial member of Tribe23.
Fentrell Cypress II | All ACC UVA Cornerback
Twitter | @TheUnderDog_79
We have been reporting on Fentrell Cypress II since he entered the portal. It appears some real interest may be developing there, as we work to build this weekend’s official visitor list. The UVA Cornerback is considered by many to be the number one portal player available overall. I tend to agree as he is indeed a plug and play shutdown corner. He immediately locks down one side of field for whatever team he goes with. Norvell and staff are pushing Ohio State and Colorado here as of late for the South Carolina native’s signature.
Keiondre Jones | Auburn IOL
Twitter | @ON3sports
Keiondre Jones would be an immediate rotation piece for the offensive line; we will closely moniter this situation. This may be my first mention of the 6’ 4” 340 pound Junior Auburn interior offensive lineman here at The Renegade report but rest assured Mike Norvell and Alex Atkins are not the types to be outworked. Stay tuned as this recruitment develops.
Keldrick Faulk | 4* 2023 DL
Twitter | @ColePinkston
Keldrick Faulk has long been all Nole, and a Top 200 high-school recruit. Recently though, he has been so connected to Auburn’s new coaching staff people are referring to him as “4* star Auburn DL target @FaulkKeldrick.” This can’t be left to stand and I believe Norvell and Papuchi’s will get him on campus this weekend prior to December 21st.
Braden Fiske | Western Michigan OL
Twitter | @AllenTrieu
The Nole’s have been on Braden hard since day one, even though apparantly ACC offers aren’t that important or impressive. Regardless the 6’ 5” 300 pound grown man will be in Tallahassee again for this major recruiting weekend. There is still a ways to go before January 18th but i believe the Noles currently lead the way for the valuable senior upper-classmen offensive lineman.
Cedric Baxter | 5* Texas RB
Twitter | @CentralNorvell
This one is definitely still a longshot but the Nole’s have yet to conceed as they plan to go in-home this week. I haven’t heard any rumblings recently but if he were to say, decide to visit Tallahassee again before signing day the Noles will have a shot.
Twitter | @CentralNorvell
Christopher Otto | 3* | Key West | Offensive Tackle
Mike Norvell’s staff has been in contact with Otto for well over a yesr after grabbing their attention at one of Coach Norvell’s Junior Day camps. I’m not sure how hard Alex Atkins and co. have been pushing him for a signature or if that real offer has been extended due to scholarship limitations. Those idea may be soon dismissed as it sems this past week his recruitment has picked up with Norvell going in home and him expecting to be in Tallahassee this weekend. I would not be surprised if he were to commit while on his official visit if the staff is ready.
Darell Jackson | Miami | Noseguard | FSU Commit
@96productions1 | Twitter
Darell recently comitted to the Noles after entering the transfer portal from Miami(of FL) . He is an experienced noseguard who was a giant piece for Canes and will likely replace Robert Cooper if he moves on as expected. Jackson is originally from Valdost Georgia a very short commute to Tallahassee. This played a Major factor in his comittment as he wanted ti be closer to his mother who is experiencing difficulties with her health. I'm sure I speak for all Noles when I say we are wishing you the best health possible moving forward Mrs. Jackson.
Hykeem Williams | 5* Wide Receiver | FSU Commit
Twitter | @CentralNorvell
Hykeem Williams is the absolute bell cow in this class and an absolute stud, six foot three, wide reciever that is expected to come into a crowded wide reciever room and immediately contest for a starting job. Mike Norvell and Ron Dugans were in home with the Williams family on Tuesday. Hykeem also visited the Los Angeles Chargers and former Noles Derwin James and Asante Samuel Jr. I Imagine he will our biggest recruiter on campus this weekend.
Casey Roddick | Colorado Guard | Renegade Report magic 8-ball
ON3 Sports | Twitter
Started 8 games this season for 497 according to school website
Played in 38 games with 26 starts
Represented Colorado at Pac-12 Media Days
Voted Team Captain Preseason
Picked 4th Team All PAC-12 By Phil Steele
Played in all 12 games for the Buffs in 21’ starting ten
All signs point to Casey Roddick signing with the Noles. He has spent a ton of time around the team and Tallahassee and he may commit during his official visit.
Jamorie Flag 2024 4* DL
Twitter | @F5_POPBOY99
The Noles appear to be building some decent momentum this week leading up to official visits Friday. Four more Noles commits are reported to be coming into town on officials and to help recruit Tribe 2023.
Lamont Green Jr.
Vandrevious Jacobs
Kenton Kirkland
Jabrill Rawls
Stay tuned right here as over the next couple days this list will likely double as recruiting reaches a fever pitch. I will also be adding info on each visitor as the list eveolves.
