While FSU offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. is still looking for his first commitment in the 2027 cycle, they are in a great place with several top targets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">One of those players is Keyon Standifer, a three-star prospect from Covington, Georgia. He was previously committed to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but reopened his recruitment in December, and the Seminoles have seemingly become one of the top schools in his recruitment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He recently spoke with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.on3.com\/rivals\/news\/inside-2027-wr-keyon-standifers-top-schools-with-two-battling-for-that-top-spot\/\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chad Simmons of Rivals<\/a> and listed the Seminoles and Tennessee Volunteers as the schools standing out to him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cFlorida State and Tennessee are standing out right now,\u201d Standifer said. \u201cThey\u2019re calling me every day. Multiple coaches from those schools reach out, and those relationships are really strong. That\u2019s what makes them stand out a little more. I also like the location of both schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Standifer is ranked as the No. 651 overall player and No. 39 athlete in the Rivals industry ranking. He is also the No. 74 player from Georgia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He had a breakout junior season at Athens Academy, emerging as one of the most dynamic players in Georgia. He finished the year with 61 receptions for 1,608 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also rushed for 259 yards and five scores on 27 carries.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"gnt_em_cp_cw_i\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1770497707_310_87125517007-renewalby-andersonlogo.png\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Follow us\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fsuwire\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">@FSUWire<\/a>\u00a0on X and like our page on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FSUWire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0to follow ongoing coverage of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/ncaaf\/teams\/florida-state-seminoles\/3409\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Florida State<\/a>\u00a0news, notes, and opinions.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Feb. 7, 2026, 10:45 a.m. ET The Florida State Seminoles loaded up at wide receiver in the 2026&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147483,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[31,33391,33392,298,299,43,2860,924,2192,96,300,232,234,233,34],"class_list":["post-147482","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tallahassee","tag-accessfree","tag-sstssportscollegefsurecruiting","tag-sstsnrecruiting","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagcollege-sports","tag-tagfacebook","tag-tagflorida-state-seminoles","tag-tagflorida-state-seminoles-football","tag-taggeorgia","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tallahassee","tag-tallahassee-headlines","tag-tallahassee-news","tag-typestory"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
