2026 Florida State QB commit Brady Smigiel inks NIL representation

Brady Smigiel decided on his school on Saturday, committing to Florida State.

The top-100 recruit in the 2026 cycle also inked NIL representation, ready to jump into the world of endorsement deals ahead of his junior year of high school. The Florida State commit has signed with The Network Advisory (TNA), working directly with Justin J. Giangrande. TNA and Giangrande previously worked closely with Tim Tebow and now represent Florida quarterback DJ Lagway, along with UF linebacker Shemar James and wide receiver Tank Hawkins.

The 6-foot-4.5, 215-pound quarterback is the fifth-best prospect at his position and the 43rd-best player in the country overall. Now that Smigiel has signed representation, ready to monetize his name, image and likeness. As a high schooler in California, he can get a jumpstart on building out his brand and deal portfolio. He already has nearly 10,000 social media followers across X and Instagram.

Lagway recently starred in a signature campaign for Gatorade, the brand’s largest ad investment in recent memory.

“Relationships made FSU right for me,” Smigiel told On3’s Steve Wiltfong on his decision to pick the Seminoles. FSU quarterbacks coach Tony Tokarz was key piece of the Seminoles’ recruitment to land Smigiel.

“The way these coaches take care of the players is like nothing I’ve seen before. Tallahassee is a special place. It’s a town that really cares about the University and everyone loves to win. Being able to take my whole family out here and having everyone love it is all I needed to see. This place is special.”

The quarterback is the fourth 2026 commit for Florida State. The Seminoles currently hold the No. 1 overall recruiting class, according to the On3 Industry Ranking. Smigiel also had offers from Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State and Miami.

The four-star prospect visited Florida State this spring. He also took a last-minute trip to Tallahassee this week. He’s coming off a notable sophomore season, finishing with 4,222 passing yards and 52 touchdowns. Brady Smigiel landed on the radar of multiple Power 4 programs after he finished his freshman year at Newbury Park (Calif.) with 3,479 yards and 46 touchdowns.

“Brady is an absolute general,” private quarterbacks coach Danny Hernandez told Wiltfong. “He takes care of business. Being in position where he’s going to be a four-year starter in high school, the production he’s been able to do is impressive. Watching him his command and presence he has with his team is different than other guys I’ve seen in the 2026 class. He’s a second coach out there. It’s awesome.”
