It’s Tuesday, Florida State fans. Before you get a chance to enjoy the FSU baseball and basketball road contests, get up to date on the latest in FSU athletics. The news and notes section will be updated throughout the day.
Lead Story
The focus may be on the 2018 recruiting class for Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher and company, but the Seminoles have already started building for 2019.
According to a report from the Tallahassee Democrat on Monday, the Seminoles have landed 2019 defensive end Quashon Fuller. A 6-3, 240-pound prospect from South Fort Myers High School, Fuller joins fellow defensive end Mike Morris, a 4-star prospect, as the only two commitments for FSU’s 2019 class.
Fuller has not yet been rated by the 247Sports Composite rankings. According to the Composite, FSU currently has the No. 8 overall class for 2019 and the No. 5 overall class for 2018.
