Overview
- Jaxon Holly announced his commitment to Florida State after an official visit, a decision reported late Sunday and confirmed by multiple recruiting outlets.
- Coaches’ sustained contact and one-on-one time with Mike Norvell, edge coach Nick Williams, and coach McRea were decisive factors in Holly’s choice, which he said the visit ‘definitely solidified.’
- Holly is a three-star edge rusher who holds about 40 offers and posted 32 tackles, seven tackles for loss, two sacks and 12 quarterback hurries in his junior season.
- Rivals and composite rankings place Holly near the 600s nationally and among the 50–70 range at edge, projecting him as a developmental rotational prospect who will likely need time in the weight room.
- Holly is the 10th commitment in FSU’s 2027 class and the signing keeps the Seminoles’ recent momentum in the Peach State alive while raising questions about class retention and which recruits will earn early playing roles.
