The FSU Seminoles are officially red-hot on the recruiting trail, landing five commitments over the past 10 days. Tuesday was their best day yet as four-star defensive lineman Tico Crittendon and three-star linebacker Noah LaVallee both committed to Mike Norvell’s program.
The additions have caused FSU’s recruiting class to shoot up the rankings, and they now have the 19th-ranked class in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite rankings. They have 14 total commitments, including eight four-star prospects to give them a 57.1% blue-chip ratio.

LaVallee is their second addition at linebacker, joining three-star Karon Maycock. LaVallee is the No. 1,247 player in the 247Sports composite rankings and the No. 105 linebacker. He is the younger brother of FSU linebacker Caleb LaVallee and picked the Seminoles over Ole Miss.
Crittendon is the third defensive lineman they have landed, and the second in as many days. He is the No. 336 player and No. 40 defensive lineman in the 247Sports composite rankings. He committed to FSU over Georgia and Tennessee.
