Florida State just dropped a massive offer to 2027 offensive tackle Caleb Canty, and folks, this is a big deal for a program desperately trying to shore up its offensive line. Canty, a three-star prospect, found himself back on the open market Wednesday after decommitting from the Maryland Terrapins when head coach Mike Locksley was fired. FSU is swooping in right when they need to.
Canty is a Hot Commodity, And FSU Knows It
This isn’t some quiet recruit flying under the radar. Caleb Canty, out of McAdory High School in Alabama, already holds over 20 offers. Committing to Maryland back in May was a big win for them, but with the coaching change, his recruitment reopened, and FSU wasted zero time making their move. The guy is a beast at 6-foot-5, 290 pounds. For context on where he stands nationally, Canty is listed as the No. 993 player nationally and the No. 80 offensive tackle in the 2027 class per the 247Sports composite rankings. He’s also the No. 41 recruit in Alabama.
The O-Line Urgency Is Real for Florida State
Listen, FSU needs offensive linemen in the 2027 cycle, like, yesterday. They currently have *zero* commitments at the position, and the focus is clearly on improving this area so they don’t have to rely so heavily on the transfer portal down the line. Canty is obviously a huge target, but he’s not the only one on their radar. They’re also looking at four-star Jatori Williams, who just named FSU in his top four schools earlier this week. Plus, they recently offered top-ranked JUCO offensive tackle Antrale Newson. The commitment to building up the trenches is undeniable.
This offer to Canty is a clear statement from Florida State. They’re going after top talent, especially those who suddenly become available. Keep a close eye on Canty’s social media and FSU’s recruiting efforts; landing him would be a huge step for their 2027 class and a sign they’re serious about rebuilding that O-line from the ground up.
