Florida State held its Seminole Showcase over the weekend, and plenty of their top targets were in attendance. One of them was 2028 three-star athlete Chris Morillo out of Hudson, Florida.
According to the 6-foot-2, 200-pounder, FSU rolled out the garnet and gold carpet for him pretty nicely.
“Had a great time at Florida State! Thank you for having me!,” Morillo wrote.
Morillo visited Florida State when they played the Kent State Golden Flashes last September and again in April before he got his offer from the Seminoles a few weeks ago. So, it’s clear he’s become a bigger priority to the program as of late, with him being on campus again over the weekend.
The 247Sports composite rankings have Morillo listed as the No. 568 overall prospect in the country and the No. 26 athlete. He’s also the No. 72 recruit in the state of Florida.
It’s no surprise that FSU has so much interest in Morillo. He’s a high-level, two-way performer at Hudson High School at the safety and wide receiver positions. He produced 64 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, nine quarterback hurries, 10 pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries on defense as a sophomore. As a receiver, Morillo gained 249 yards on 15 receptions.
Morillo has offers from some top-tier programs like the Miami Hurricanes and Alabama Crimson Tide. Plus, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Virginia Tech Hokies have extended offers. However, Florida State is the school he’s visited the most frequently, and they need to keep their foot on the gas in terms of their efforts in recruiting him.
