The Florida State Seminoles secured a big recruiting win on Tuesday, landing three-star quarterback Logan Flaherty. After a few dominoes didn't fall in their favor previously, the Seminoles found a signal-caller to spearhead #Tribe27.
Flaherty is expected to assist Florida State's recruiting efforts in the coming months.

It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows for the Seminoles. Flaherty announced his decision alongside his high school teammate and four-star wide receiver Elias Pearl.
Despite his quarterback heading to Tallahassee, Pearl went the complete opposite direction.
Four-Star WR Picks Florida Over Florida State
Pearl revealed his pledge shortly after Flaherty, choosing the Florida Gators over Florida State, Georgia, LSU, and Ole Miss.
The choice wasn't necessarily a surprise as Pearl was trending towards the Gators. Either way, he will soon flip from teammates to rivals with Flaherty planning to don garnet and gold.
Florida State joined Pearl's recruitment in February. He was on campus in April for an official visit. Pearl did not have an official visit scheduled to return to the Seminoles.

During his junior season at Port Charlotte High school, Pearl totaled 69 receptions for 1,052 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also rushed 40 times for 253 yards and 11 more scores. He also returned two kickoffs for touchdowns.
Pearl recorded 100+ receiving yards in four games, including a season-high ten catches for 157 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-21 victory against Sebring High School on September 19.
The 5-foot-10, 180-pound wide receiver is regarded as the No. 90 overall prospect, the No. 16 WR, and the No. 10 recruit in Florida in the 2027 class according to the 247Sports Composite Ratings.
With Pearl off the board, Florida State will turn its focus to four-star Jamarin Simmons, four-star Sean Green, three-star Cam Wade, three-star Arnold Mugerwa, three-star Majay Thompson, and three-star Antwan Lockett.
