Number 1.
That's where Florida State's 2016 recruiting class is coming in at.
Thanks to key gets like CB Carlos Becker, LB Dontavious Jackson and DE Brian Burns, the Seminoles reloaded and came in with a highly touted class as lofty as Michigan, LSU, Texas and Alabama.
"We added to our family quite well today," said FSU coach Jimbo Fisher. "And not just as far as football players. We're very happy with the group we got."
The Seminoles class includes 16 players ranked in the ESPN Top 300, including DT Shavar Manuel, who up until Wednesday morning was headed to Gainesville. Among the 25-man signing class are 13 players from Florida and nine other states. The position splits are 12 defensive, 11 offensive, and two specialists.
FSU also got commitments from the nation's top rated incoming cornerback Levonta Taylor from Virginia Beach, the no. 2 incoming quarterback, Malik Henry of Long Beach, California and the top rated center Baveon Johnson from Lake Gibson.
"(These are) high character quality young men who are interested in a great education and could also play a little ball," Fisher said.
