The Florida State Seminoles are still looking for a quarterback to lead their 2027 recruiting class, and quarterbacks coach Austin Tucker is working to fill the hole. It is the first test for FSU’s new coach, and he has extended a new scholarship offer.
The Seminoles offered a scholarship to Jake Nawrot on Sunday, becoming the latest school to enter the mix for the ascending recruit. He announced the offer on social media, thanking Tucker.
“After a great conversation with (Austin Tucker), I am blessed to receive an offer from (FSU football),” he wrote.
Nawrot recently shined at the Elite 11 event last week in Indianapolis. He now has over a dozen scholarship offers from programs across the country, including the Kentucky Wildcats, Iowa Hawkeyes, and Washington Huskies.
He is ranked as the No. 117 overall player and No. 10 quarterback in the 247Sports composite. He is also the No. 7 player from Illinois.
Nawrot had a breakout junior season at Hersey High School, his first season as a starter. He completed 71.1% of his passes for 3,078 yards, 41 touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also ran for 124 yards and eight touchdowns on 30 carries.
Tucker and FSU will need to work quickly to become a factor in Nawrot’s recruitment, who has never visited Tallahassee. The Seminoles have several quarterback targets in Israel Abrams, Wonderful Monds IV, and Jayce Johnson, but they do not appear to be the leaders in any of their recruitments. Adding Nawrot to their recruiting board gives them another chance to land an elite quarterback.
