2027 four-star safety Ta’Shawn Poole is getting set to start his official visit schedule for the summer. The Clemson Tigers <\/a>(May 29), Tennessee Volunteers<\/a> (June 5), and Florida State Seminoles<\/a> (June 19) are on his itinerary.<\/p>\n

Poole was recently in Tallahassee for a spring practice in April, which was his second time on campus (visited last November). It was a significant trip for the 6-foot-2, 185-pounder as he felt like he was already a member of the program.<\/p>\n

“I just wanna say Coach [Mike] Norvell, I love his energy,” Poole said via Noles247<\/a>. “At practice, he brought me in like one of the players.”<\/p>\n

It’s no secret that Seminoles’ head coach Mike Norvell has a seat that’s hotter than a steak sizzling in a cast-iron skillet. FSU has only won seven games over the last two seasons, and his future, although it appears to be in good standing for now, has some question marks.<\/p>\n

Poole discussed what the future holds with Norvell the last time they spoke. The Peach State product walked away from the conversation very pleased.<\/p>\n

“I asked about how long he’s staying there,” said Poole. “He told me that he talked to the president, that he has a good deal with him. I trust him. If I were to commit right now, I’d be able to play early\u2026to help bring Florida State back.”<\/p>\n

Poole is the No. 59 player nationally and the No. 5 safety according to the 247Sports composite. In the state of Georgia, he’s the No. 4 prospect.<\/p>\n

Florida State has four-star safety Mekhi Williams committed in the 2027 cycle, as well as three-star Jemari Foreman. With that said, adding a talent like Poole, who has the range and ball skills to be a chess piece in Tony White\u2019s 3-3-5 scheme, would be a major win for the Seminoles.<\/p>\n
