The FSU Seminoles have three-star cornerback Romel Koon as a key target in the 2027 recruiting cycle. He was on campus earlier this week for a multi-day visit, and things went very well.

"The overall trip was amazing," Koon told Tom Loy of 247Sports. "I loved meeting the coaching staff and watching practice. Also, viewing the campus. It was beautiful."

Schools like Virginia Tech, Kentucky, Indiana, Georgia Tech, and Tennessee are also pushing hard for Koon. He took an unofficial visit to Kentucky for their Junior Day in January, and Georgia Tech has hosted him for multiple unofficial visits in March and this past weekend.

Florida State offered Koon a scholarship in May of 2025. However, his trip to Tallahassee this week was his first. Despite this, the Seminoles have made a major move in his recruitment.

"Florida State definitely increased heavily on my list," said Koon. "I am loving the tribe and can't wait to get back up for an official visit. I loved the love and support they showed me."

Koon had a chance to chop it up with Seminoles' cornerbacks coach Blue Adams while he was on campus. The two dived into some x's and o's during their time together.

"The trip was great," said Koon. "I definitely learned a lot from the cornerbacks coach, Blue Adams. We got on the board, and he got me better with that, as well as understanding the game more.

Koon is the No. 980 player nationally and the No. 90 cornerback per the 247Sports composite rankings. The 6-foot, 165-pounder is also the No. 39 recruit out of Tennessee.

Locking in an official visit with Koon will undoubtedly be something FSU looks into with their position in his recruitment getting stronger.
