Florida State University coaches actively strategizing to recruit top talents.
Florida State University football coaches have actively pursued Lamar Brown, the nation’s top interior offensive line recruit for 2026. During a recent trip to Louisiana, head coach Mike Norvell and his staff made a strong impression as they aim to secure Brown’s commitment. As a composite five-star recruit, Brown’s impressive athleticism makes him a prized target. With a talented roster including six commits and an ongoing enhancement of their facilities, Florida State looks poised for a competitive future, especially with promising recruits like Brown in their sights.
The buzz is in the air here in Tallahassee as the Florida State football coaches recently hit the road to Louisiana in pursuit of one of the nation’s top young talents. This week, area recruiter and running backs coach David Johnson, along with offensive line coach Herb Hand and head coach Mike Norvell, made a special trip to meet with none other than Lamar Brown, the No. 1 interior offensive line recruit from the class of 2026. Now, that’s what we call a dedicated coaching staff!
Lamar Brown is turning heads in the football world with his remarkable skills and sheer physicality. At a towering 6’4″ and weighing in at 275 pounds, this rising star has been recognized as a composite five-star recruit by 247Sports.com. Brown already holds an astonishing 25 scholarship offers from various powerhouse programs in college football, so it’s no small feat for the Seminoles to step into the ring to court him.
Having been offered by Florida State back in January, Brown has since racked up accolades like being a two-time MaxPreps All-American. As a key player at University Lab High School, he helped his team achieve a strong 8-3 record in 2024, following a stellar performance the previous year when they finished first in their district with an impressive 11-2 record. It’s clear this guy knows what it takes to win!
But wait, there’s more! Brown is not just a phenomenal football player; he’s also a talented track and field athlete. He clinched the title of Louisiana 3A state shot put champion during his sophomore year and even placed fourth at regionals in the discus throw. Talk about a well-rounded athlete who excels on multiple fronts!
As for Florida State’s future, Lamar Brown is expected to make a trip to the university this offseason—a visit that many are eagerly anticipating. Currently, FSU’s 2026 recruiting class boasts six commits, including promising players like four-star quarterback Brady Smigiel and wide receiver Efrem White. Coach Norvell and the team are keen on beefing up their roster with standout athletes, and Brown would certainly fit the bill!
Buckling up the seatbelts for recruiting season, Brown has previously made several visits to LSU. However, it seems no commitments have materialized just yet. The Seminoles remain in the hunt, and with previous connections to Florida State’s new offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and coach Herb Hand, it seems like the relationship could sway his decision in FSU’s favor.
Aside from the usual suspects like LSU, Brown also has offers from big names including the Florida Gators, Michigan Wolverines, and Alabama Crimson Tide. With such a diverse range of options in front of him, it looks like this decision won’t come easy for the talented lineman.
In tandem with beefing up their recruiting for the 2026 class, Florida State’s coaching staff is focusing on revamping their facilities as part of the ongoing “Vision of Excellence” campaign. Coach Norvell recently shared his aspirations for a competitive 2025 season, emphasizing the importance of resources for their athletes as they gear up for a challenging schedule that includes a kickoff against Alabama.
It’s an exciting time for Florida State football as they look to strengthen their program and attract elite players like Lamar Brown while forging ahead with their mission for greatness. Keep your eyes glued to see how this story unfolds!
