The majority of positions in #Tribe27 are basically set at this time, meaning the Seminoles can start looking ahead to prospects in future classes.
Florida State is targeting a highly-ranked recruit in the 2028 cycle late in July.
FSU Offers Four-Star 2028 Defensive Back
On Tuesday, the Seminoles extended an offer to four-star defensive back and rising junior, DeNairo Girton Jr., who referred to safeties coach Evan Cooper when revealing the news on social media.
Girton Jr. has earned well over 15 offers, with teams such as Michigan, Auburn, Tennessee, Florida, Indiana, UCLA, and Virginia Tech joining his recruitment since February.
This offseason, Girton Jr. visited Penn State three times. He also saw Ohio State.
Now that the Seminoles have thrown their hat in the ring, getting Girton Jr. to campus will be a priority.
During his sophomore season at Great Mills High School, Girton Jr. totaled 31 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 1 fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown, and 2 interceptions, including one he brought back for a score.
The 6-foot-3, 185-pound safety is regarded as the No. 150 overall prospect, the No. 13 S, and the No. 6 recruit in Maryland in the 2028 class, according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
