Florida State is making moves to load up its 2027 recruiting class, firing off an offer to fast-rising three-star cornerback Daveon Belhomme from Clearwater Central Catholic High School. This isn’t just another offer, either; the Seminoles are clearly making a serious push for Belhomme, with a crucial visit now locked in.
Coach Adams Lays Out Why Belhomme Is the Guy
FSU’s cornerbacks coach, Blue Adams, clearly sees something special in Belhomme. Straight up, Adams told the 5-foot-11.5, 175-pound defensive back that he “liked my tape and I was a great football player.” That’s high praise from a position coach, and it shows they’re not messing around. Adams wants to “get me down there,” and guess what? It’s happening. Belhomme is set to visit Tallahassee on November 21 for the Seminoles’ game against the NC State Wolfpack. That’s not just any game; it’s their final ACC matchup of the season, which means the atmosphere is going to be absolutely electric. Talk about a prime time for a recruit to experience the energy.
Everyone Wants a Piece of This Talent
Belhomme’s recruitment is absolutely blowing up, and October has been wild for him. Besides Florida State, he’s pulled in offers from some serious programs: Notre Dame, Iowa State, Wisconsin, Ole Miss, and Auburn. That’s a stacked list of schools, proving just how hot his stock is right now. According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Belhomme is the No. 1,186 prospect nationally, the No. 110 cornerback in the country, and the No. 121 recruit in the state of Florida. He’s got talent, and the big boys are noticing.
The stakes for Florida State here are pretty clear: they’re still searching for their very first cornerback commit in the 2027 cycle. Landing a fast-rising talent like Belhomme would be a massive statement and a huge step towards building out that secondary. All eyes are on that November 21 visit; it could be the moment FSU starts building some real momentum for their future defense.
