Florida State hopes to impress key weekend visitors

With Florida State struggling on the field, the Seminoles are looking for something to get their recruiting efforts also fired back up on the trail. One prospect that could do that is coveted four-star cornerback Earl Little Jr. of Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) American Heritage.

The 6-foot, 175-pound Little confirmed Thursday that he will be in Tallahassee, Fla., this weekend for an official visit with the Noles.

Little has had Florida State high on his list for a while now, but Alabama has been at the forefront of his recruitment for quite some time.

Also expected on campus at Florida State for an official visit is On300 linebacker Wesley Bissainthe of Miami Central. Bissainthe is one of Florida State’s top remaining linebacker targets. He last visited Tallahassee for an unofficial trip in late June.

For Florida State, it’s a monster opportunity to generate some much-needed recruiting momentum with the No. 21 and No. 164 players in the country. A good visit could also send a signal to other prospects that Tallahassee is still a top spot for star recruits.

Michigan State WR commit visiting Florida State

Michigan State receiver consensus three-star receiver commitment Jaron Glover of Sarasota (Fla.) Riverview should also be at FSU on an unofficial visit. The Noles have yet to offer him, but a good trip this weekend could change that.

Glover, who is 6-foo-3 and 195 pounds, originally chose the Spartans over other offers from Indiana, Tennessee, USF, Wake Forest, West Virginia and Coastal Carolina. He has only taken one official visit during the process – a trip to Michigan State on June 18.
