FSU Football: Saturday Brings Even More Arrivals! | FOF Ground-Breaking *Updated Hourly* Miami OT added
As we reach the midpoint of the biggest official visit weekend of the year plus the FOF groundbreaking Renegade report keeps you up to date on the very latest Noles SCOOP! This Is THE SATURDAY HUB
Highlights from Friday night in Tallahassee
Lamont Green Jr. | 4☆ Legacy DE
Whoever came up with the idea for the flaming spears in the North Endzone, led lighting and the champions club / video board in the bsckground? They are going places and going fast. Maybe @KCampDesign played a role in this brilliant move either way plenty of pictures coming with this aesthetic.

Jabril Rawls | 3☆ DB Catholic HS Penacola FL | FSU Commit
As a local to the Pensacola area I can tell you everyone around here gushes about his character as much or more than his playmaking ability. He has grown man size and ability at a young age and will be fun to watch in garnet and gold.

Kionte Johnson | Auburn IOL Portal Target
The offensive line, while not the question mark it has been in the past, and some big pieces coming back is still an unkown. It will certainly be the most talented o-line at FSU in almost a decade. Who they will be and how they gel is yet to be seen. Kionte Johnson would be a big upgrade over the OL attrition we faced due to the portal. A big win and would improve the room. Here he is Friday night with Alex Atkins, Cooper Williams and Gabe Fertitta all putting in work to gain his commitment.

Vandrevious Jacobs 3☆ HS WR
I’ve said it once, twice, hell a hundred times this young man is a blue chip if I’ve ever seen one and I bet he will be a demon on his special teams reps. He comes in with a great class and will have time to develop.

Kj Kirkland | 3☆ DB FSU Commit
It appears the long-time Nole commit really appreciates the love so far on his official visit.

Saturday Morning Arrivals to the Moore Center
Keldric Faulk | 4☆ HS DE | FSU Commit | was on Flip watch (Aub)
It was feared earlier this week that Keldrick would end up in Auburn this weekend instead of Tallahassee. Those fears were somewhat assuaged Thursday night when Norvell and Papuchis went in home to convince him to leave Auburn hanging an come back home to Florida State University. By all accounts it appears that visit from the coaching staff paid dividends!
Kj Kirkland | 3☆ DB FSU Commit
KJ is back again for Saturday
KJ Sampson | 4☆ DL FSU Commit

Andy Jean | 4☆ HS Wide receiver | UF Commit | Flip Watch
Andy is a blur-chip recruit per the 247 sports famous composite rating and the 355th best player in the nation. He stands 6’ 1” tall and weighs in at 180 pounds. The young man plays for Northwestern Highschool in Miami, Florida. It would be a major feather in Mike Norvell’s cap to return the favor of Napier having relieved the Noles of top Orange county, OL Roderick Kearney.

The 150,000 square foot $90 million football only facility is a recruiting tool and amazing resource for a college football teams in addition to the IPF. Like a Lamborghini or a Patek Philippe watch the FOF is a symbol of status long overdue for one of the best brands in all of college football.

Everyone grabs a shovel and hard hat and ground is BROKEN!
It wasn’t a very strenous activity for the very well dressed Florida State University dignitaries but it did the job. This is a massive day for so many FSU fans who began clamoring for on of these well over a decade ago. We don’t have to wonder any longer just a little bit more waiting. Maybe some championships and the boost to the economy could even help boost the project$ efficiency.
