It&#8217;s 2027 three-star wide receiver Majay Thompson out of Shelby.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">He has narrowed his recruitment down to four schools. Thompson will pick between the Wake Forest Demon Deacons, <a href=\"http:\/\/ugawire.usatoday.com\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Georgia Bulldogs<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/rolltidewire.usatoday.com\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Alabama Crimson Tide<\/a>, and the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/ncaaf\/teams\/florida-state-seminoles\/3409\/\" data-autotag=\"06ee9050-e06d-4638-a179-a4d7f17000df\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Florida State Seminoles<\/a>, per Riley Alberts of 247Sports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Thompson is the nation&#8217;s No. 612 overall prospect and the No. 71 wide receiver according to the 247Sports composite rankings. In the state of North Carolina, he&#8217;s the No. 20 recruit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">On May 15, Thompson took an official visit to Georgia. Two weeks later, on May 29, he took an official visit to Wake Forest. He&#8217;s currently taking an official visit to Alabama, and FSU will get his final official visit on June 12.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Florida State didn&#8217;t have Thompson on campus until April 9, and he left with a scholarship offer from the Seminoles. The fact that they&#8217;re getting his final visit will give them a good chance to make a strong final push before he commits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">FSU is getting some help from a member of its 2027 class in landing Thompson. Three-star quarterback Logan Flaherty, who committed last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stories\/l.flaherty17\/3913706893897681387?utm_source=ig_story_item_share&amp;igsh=MXB2ZGJna2hhcXVlcg==\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">took to Instagram<\/a> to recruit Thompson to the Seminoles. He&#8217;s been adamant about <a href=\"http:\/\/fsuwire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/college\/fsu\/recruiting\/2026\/06\/02\/fsu-football-quarterback-logan-flaherty-recruiting-class\/90368829007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">helping Florida State with recruiting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Thompson had a productive junior campaign at Crest High School. He registered 53 receptions for 865 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also added a punt return touchdown on special teams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After taking six wide receivers in the 2026 recruiting cycle, FSU isn&#8217;t expected to take a big haul of receivers in their 2027 class. They&#8217;re projected to land <a href=\"http:\/\/fsuwire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/college\/fsu\/recruiting\/2026\/04\/02\/fsu-football-sean-green-wide-receiver-prediction-recruiting\/89440575007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">four-star Sean Green<\/a> and currently lead for <a href=\"http:\/\/fsuwire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/college\/fsu\/recruiting\/2026\/06\/01\/fsu-football-wide-receiver-cam-wade-top-school-official-visit-recruiting\/90355390007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">four-star Cam Wade<\/a>.
