The FSU Seminoles have landed their first commitment from a defensive lineman in the 2027 recruiting class, with three-star defensive lineman Eric Vaulx Jr. committing during his official visit, according to Brendan Sonnone of Noles247.

Vaulx is from Lake Cormorant, Mississippi, and picked the Seminoles over the Tennessee Volunteers and Missouri Tigers. He was set to visit both SEC programs, but decided to pull the trigger after FSU hosted him on his first official visit.

He is ranked as the No. 439 overall player and No. 51 defensive lineman in the 247Sports composite. He is also the No. 14 player from Mississippi.

FSU worked quickly to land Vaulx, whom they offered a scholarship on March 4. He visited Tallahassee for the first time on April 7 before returning on his official visit on May 29 and committed that same weekend. The 6-foot-2.5, 265-pounder has over 15 scholarship offers from programs across the country.

Vaulx had a productive junior season at Lake Cormorant High School, recording 75 tackles, 18.0 tackles for loss, 6.0 sacks, 24 quarterback hurries, and three forced fumbles. He also blocked three kicks.

He is FSU’s eighth commitment in the 2027 recruiting cycle, and the sixth on the defensive side of the ball. He is their second commit along the defensive line, joining four-star edge Anthony Cavallaro. The group is ranked as the 40th best class in the country and the 11th best in the ACC by 247Sports.
