News Summary
Florida State University is hosting up to 22 prospective recruits for official visits this weekend. Notable visitors include four-star wide receiver Darryon Williams and edge rusher Katrell Webb. These visits are critical for FSU’s recruiting strategy as they build relationships with potential future players amid competitive interest from rival schools.

TALLAHASSEE – Florida State University (FSU) is set to host up to 22 prospective recruits for official visits this weekend, a significant event in the recruiting cycle for college football. The scheduled visits will commence with some recruits arriving on Friday, while others are expected to begin their tours on Sunday.
Among the prominent visitors is four-star wide receiver Darryon Williams, who is currently committed to FSU but has been garnering interest from rival Florida. Williams last visited the campus in April, and his recruitment is being perceived as a competitive battle primarily between Florida State and Florida. Another key prospect is Katrell Webb, a highly ranked edge rusher whose visit is crucial for the Seminoles’ defensive strategy, as they currently lack committed edge players for the 2026 recruiting class.
Notably returning for another visit is four-star defensive back Chauncey Kennon, who has previously toured FSU multiple times and is expected to make a decision on his commitment by July 6. On the offensive side, the weekend will also see visits from Jasen Lopez, a versatile two-sport athlete expressing interest in playing both basketball and football, and Da’Ron Parks, a three-star offensive lineman.
Additionally, defensive tackle Tico Crittendon is aiming to visit the FSU campus for the first time amidst interest from other schools, including South Carolina and Georgia. Furthermore, CJ Bronaugh, who is currently committed to Nebraska, will be visiting FSU as the Seminoles aim to potentially flip his commitment.
The visiting class also includes former top ten prospect James Carrington, who, despite a drop in his recruitment rankings, is still viewed as a player with high impact potential. Another interesting visitor is LaVallee, the younger brother of current FSU linebacker Caleb LaVallee, who is also scheduled for an official visit.
These campus visits come as part of a larger recruiting initiative aimed at strengthening the bond between the coaching staff and prospective players. The weekend is pivotal as it aligns with the crucial summer recruiting window leading up to the football season.
Several of the attending prospects are being closely watched for potential commitments or flips. Notably, quarterback Jaden O’Neal, who is currently committed to Oklahoma, falls into this category. Other prospects, such as Calvin Russell, are seen as essential for Florida State to gain momentum through effective visits this weekend.
As the summer recruiting window progresses, Florida State is under pressure to secure commitments from key targets while simultaneously retaining their current commitments amidst escalating interest from rival programs. The success of this weekend’s visits could significantly impact FSU’s 2026 recruiting class, shaping the future of the Seminoles football program as they strive to solidify their status as a competitive force.
