However, the last 11 years haven&#8217;t been kind to the Seminoles as Clemson has won nine of the last ten meetings, including seven straight from 2015-22.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"66\">While Florida State has dipped in performance, Clemson is quickly becoming the cream of the crop in the ACC. That includes both on the field and on the recruiting trail.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"69\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/college\/fsu\/florida-state-seminoles-college-football\/new-fsu-football-qb-reveals-jersey-number-malachi-marshall-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">READ MORE: New FSU Football Quarterback Reveals Jersey Number<\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6g\">Tigers have been running circles around the Seminoles in May. In less than three weeks, Clemson has landed six recruits over Florida State, including four-star offensive lineman Elijah Morrison, four-star wide receiver Jamarin Simmons, four-star running back Gary Walker, four-star offensive lineman Carter Jones, and three-star tight end Carter Blackwell.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6j\">The latest prospect to spurn the Seminoles for Clemson is four-star defensive lineman Santana Harvey.<\/p>\n<p>Four-Star DL Chooses Clemson Over Florida State, Others<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6p\">On Friday, Harvey revealed his pledge to the Tigers, choosing the ACC rival over Florida State, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, and Colorado.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6s\">Harvey was one of Florida State&#8217;s most coveted targets along the defensive front. The coaching staff offered him all the way back in January of 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6v\">The blue-chip prospect visited campus twice since the calendar flipped to 2026. He was in town back in April to take in a spring practice. Harvey was scheduled to return for an official visit, but committed to Clemson before that trip could take place.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6y\">Harvey is the son of former Florida defensive lineman Derrick Harvey. The elder Harvey was a top-10 pick in the 2008 NFL Draft and had stints with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos, and Cincinnati Bengals.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"71\">During his junior season at Lakeland High School, Harvey accumulated 20 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, one forced fumble, and two pass deflections.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"74\">The 6-foot-5, 220-pound defensive lineman is regarded as the No. 284 overall
