Those aspirations haven’t necessarily come to fruition. Despite building a deep quarterback board, the Seminoles watched as they struck out on a multitude of recruits, such as four-star Israel Abrams (Miami), four-star Jake Nawrot (Kentucky), four-star Andre Adams (Colorado), and four-star Wonderful Monds IV (Notre Dame).<\/p>\n
The failures forced Florida State to pivot and re-evaluate its options. Over the last few weeks, the Seminoles have prioritized three-star signal-caller Logan Flaherty, an in-state prospect with ties to Tallahassee.<\/p>\n
FSU’s efforts paid off in the form of a commitment in the middle of May.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday afternoon, Flaherty pledged to the Seminoles over a list of finalists, which included Rutgers, Georgia Tech, USF, North Carolina, and Memphis.<\/p>\n
Flaherty was previously committed to UCF from October to April. However, he began to look around this offseason, which included trips to Florida State, Georgia Tech, and Rutgers.<\/p>\n
The Scarlet Knights appeared to have the upper hand lately. A strong push from the Seminoles was enough to keep Flaherty comfortable with sticking around in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n
Both of Flaherty’s parents attended Florida State. The rising senior plans to follow in their footsteps when he signs in December.<\/p>\n
During his junior season at Port Charlotte High School, Flaherty completed 178\/293 passes (60.8%) for 2,636 yards with 27 touchdowns to seven interceptions. He added 140 carries for 595 yards and 11 more scores.<\/p>\n
Flaherty led his team to an 11-3 record and an appearance in the state semifinals. He threw for 250+ yards in four outings, including a season-high 22\/33 passing for 279 yards with three touchdowns and zero turnovers in a 24-21 victory against Sebring High School.<\/p>\n
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound quarterback is regarded as the No. 726 overall prospect, the No. 40 QB, and the No. 66 recruit in Florida in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.<\/p>\n
