Florida State has safeties four-star Mekhi Williams and three-star Jemari Foreman committed in their 2027 recruiting class. However, they're still looking to land their first cornerback. Enter three-star Khamani Estrada.

The 6-foot, 175-pounder has around 20 offers. According to Chad Simmons of Rivals, FSU and one school from the SEC are leading the way in his recruitment.

Florida State and Kentucky are recruiting Khamani Estrada the hardest right now, putting the Seminoles and Wildcats at the top of his list. Estrada is in frequent contact with coaches from both staffs and was in Tallahassee, Florida earlier this week, where the connection with the Florida State coaches continued to grow.

Estrada is coming off a strong junior year at Westlake High School. He finished with 43 tackles, three interceptions, four pass breakups, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery per MaxPreps.

Kentucky will host Estrada for an official visit on June 5 and Florida State on June 12. Pittsburgh and Purdue are others schools to watch in the recruitment of Estrada.

He is the nation's No. 506 player and the No. 56 cornerback per Rivals industry rankings. Estrada is the No. 59 recruit from the state of Georgia.
