2027 three-star edge Stevan Thornton III has become a popular name lately when it comes to the Florida State Seminoles. The reason for that is that FSU has made major waves in his recruitment in a short amount of time.
He first came to Tallahassee on June 10, and exactly one week later, a scholarship offer was extended by FSU. Despite several other schools trying to land an official visit, he chose to take a trip to Florida State this weekend.
It appears that the 6-foot-5, 200-pounder is looking to make a decision in the near future. Per Noles247’s Chris Nee, Thornton could be making his choice after his official visit wraps up, and FSU is trending to be the program that he commits to.
Edge coach Nick Williams has already shown his prowess for getting recruits to come to Florida State in his first six months on the job. The Seminoles got a prediction to land Thornton earlier this week, and it would be another feather in the cap for Williams if that comes true.
Thornton produced at a high level during his junior year at Cairo High School. He amassed 91 tackles, 20 tackles for loss, and eight sacks. He would pair very well with committed prospects four-star Anthony Cavallaro and three-star Jaxon Holly at the edge spot.
The 247Sports composite rankings have Thornton listed as the No. 883 prospect in the country and the No. 75 edge. He’s ranked as the No. 106 recruit in Georgia as well.
