Florida State’s rough Saturday night against Clemson still produced one bright spot for the Seminoles: a commitment from 2028 wide receiver Treiy Crenshaw.
Crenshaw, an unranked prospect from South Walton High School in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, announced his pledge after visiting Tallahassee again for the Clemson game, according to Zach Blostein of 247Sports. Florida State fell to 3-5 with the loss, but the Seminoles added a key piece to their 2028 class in the process.
The commitment is the fifth for Florida State in the 2028 cycle. Crenshaw joins three-star edge Meshi Dobson, three-star cornerback Man Robinson, who is being recruited as a safety, three-star athlete Chayse Brown, who is also being recruited as a safety, and three-star tight end Troy Silberzahn. That group currently gives FSU the No. 6-ranked class in the country.
Crenshaw’s path to the decision included multiple trips to campus. He was in Tallahassee for a 7-on-7 camp in June, where he earned an offer from the Seminoles.
He also visited for Florida State’s season opener against New Mexico State. Coming back for Saturday’s atmosphere inside Doak Campbell Stadium sealed it for him.
Before transferring to Florida, Crenshaw played at Douglas High School in Alabama. The 6-foot-3, 187-pound receiver said his bond with wide receivers coach Tim Harris Jr. and recruiter Devin Rispress was a major reason for his choice, along with the fit for his family.
"It's closer for my family, and my grandfather really loves it," Crenshaw told 247Sports. "They show so much love every time I come."
On the field, Crenshaw has already shown steady production. As a freshman at Douglas, he caught 18 passes for 399 yards and three touchdowns.
He followed that with 30 receptions for 565 yards and eight scores as a sophomore. This season at South Walton, he has 14 catches for 169 yards and two touchdowns.

Florida State Search May Be Telling Fans Something About Deion
Florida States coaching search is starting to sketch out the kind of profile the school may be after, and Deion Sanders appears to be moving off that board. The Seminoles are weighing a high-stakes hire, but the early read is that they want more than name recognition and recruiting buzz when they choose the next leader of the program.
Sanders run at Colorado has brought attention, but it has also come with plenty of questions about roster management and results in conference play. For Florida State, those issues seem to matter as much as the star power, along with the financial side of any potential deal, which suggests the search may be narrowing toward a very different type of candidate.

Dabo Just Weighed In On FSU Fans Going After Mike Norvell
Florida States rough season has already put Mike Norvell under a harsh spotlight, and the frustration around the program spilled into the air above Doak Campbell Stadium when a banner calling for his firing flew overhead. The moment drew attention beyond Tallahassee, adding another layer to a season that has already featured plenty of noise around the Seminoles and the direction of the program.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney weighed in afterward, saying the scene was an embarrassment and that it crossed a line by turning football criticism into something more personal. He said losing games should not lead to attacks on a coach and his family, a reminder that the pressure around Florida State has become as much about the temperature of the conversation as it is about what happens on the field.

FSU Opens Season With One Early Roster Concern In Focus
Florida State opens its second season under Luke Loucks on Monday in Tampa against Florida A&M, and the matchup brings a little more substance than the average early November tune-up. The Seminoles are trying to build on year one under Loucks, while Florida A&M arrives with its own momentum after a strong previous season under Charlie Ward and a roster that includes both returning pieces and new transfers.
For Florida State, the early focus is less about the opponent than about how the Seminoles sort out their playmaking spots as the season gets underway. Florida A&M has questions of its own in the frontcourt, but this game offers a first real look at how Loucks wants his group organized and who can handle the ball when the pressure starts to rise.
