Florida State got every prospect from their 2026 recruiting class signed during the early period this week. However, they’ve also gotten off to a good start in their 2027 class as it is currently ranked No. 9 in the nation.
One of the top prospects of the cycle, four-star wide receiver Nicholas Lennear, has deemed FSU as one of the programs that standout to him. He recently spoke on the bond that he’s formed with the Seminoles thanks to wide receivers coach Tim Harris Jr.
“I love Coach Harris, he’s a guy from Miami. He coached at Booker. T Washington. I knew him for a long time, so we have a good relationship,” Lennear said via Rivals.
Lennear is the nation’s No. 24 overall player and the No. 4 wide receiver per the Rivals industry rankings. The 6-foot, 165-pounder is the No. 3 prospect out of Florida as well.
FSU extended an offer to Lennear in August of 2023, just before his freshman campaign. So, the interest has been there for a few years. The Seminoles finally got him on campus back in November for an unofficial visit when they beat the Virginia Tech Hokies.
Lennear’s best season on the high school level was as a sophomore in 2024 when he logged 38 receptions for 657 yards and 11 touchdowns. He only played in seven games as a junior. Despite this, Lennear racked up 20 catches for 381 yards and seven scores. Also, he produced seven tackles, one tackle for loss, one interception, and two pass breakups on defense.
The aforementioned Harris just got a strong haul of receivers signed for the 2026 cycle, which includes four-star prospects Jasen Lopez, Efrem White, Devin Carter, and Brandon Bennett. They will now work to get him back on campus for another visit.
