FSU locks in official visits with elite DBs Kaiden Hall, Samari Matthews
The nation’s top recruits have started to make their official visit schedules for this summer, and Florida State has locked in OVs with multiple top prospects.
Four-star safety Kaiden Hall and four-star cornerback Samari Matthews are the latest to confirm that they will be visiting Florida State for the June 6 weekend. And that is setting up to be a very big weekend for the Seminoles as four-star EDGE Cam Brooks and three-star linebacker Duyon Forkpa have also set officials for that date.
According to On3, Hall is the 24th-best prospect in the 2026 class, as well as the No. 2-ranked player at his position and the No. 3 recruit in Florida.
Hall was at Florida State recently for the Seminoles’ first Junior Day on Jan. 18. After that visit, he told the media that FSU was, “at the top for sure.” That visit was then followed up by Junior Day trips to Oklahoma and Alabama.
The 6-foot, 3-inch Hall is a standout for Milton High, which is less than three hours west of Tallahassee in the panhandle.
“I’ve been a fan all my life,” Hall said. “Grew up a fan of Florida State, so I know almost everything about the team, about the roster, all of that. So being here, is just like an honor really.”

The highly ranked safety also scheduled an official visit with Alabama for June 13, according to BamaOnline, and he has another one lined up with Oklahoma. It’s expected that the Gators will also get an official visit this summer.
Samari Matthews is also a top-100 national recruit, according to On3. The North Carolina product is ranked the seventh-best cornerback in the country, and he also set an official visit to South Carolina for June 20.
The 6-foot, 180-pounder visited Florida State on Jan. 18, and he dropped his top four schools of Clemson, South Carolina, Oregon and Florida State last week.
“Just the overall feel. It’s kind of hard to explain,” Matthews said of Florida State. “I will just say the overall visit left a positive impression.”
