Elite 2028 four-star safety Giovanni Tuggle, who committed to the Ole Miss Rebels on September 22, is reportedly still visiting other schools, with a significant trip to Florida State set for October 31 when the Seminoles play Clemson. This visit is huge, considering FSU was once a top contender for Tuggle, and this gives them a shot to get back in the mix in a massive way.
Florida State was all over Tuggle’s recruitment early on. They offered him way back last August. He even took an unofficial visit in March and hit up a camp in June. Then July rolled around, and the Ole Miss Rebels offered him. Tuggle wasted no time, taking a visit to see them when they took down the LSU Tigers, and that led directly to his commitment last month. The 6-foot, 190-pound safety locked it in with the Rebels.
But FSU hasn’t just faded away, not at all. According to Kolby Crawford of Noles247, Tuggle is heading back to Tallahassee for that crucial Clemson game. This isn’t just any recruit either; Tuggle is ranked as the nation’s No. 56 overall recruit and the No. 5 safety in the 247Sports composite rankings. In Georgia, he’s the No. 9 prospect. For Florida State, who was right there at the top of his list before his Ole Miss commitment, this visit is extremely important.
The action isn’t stopping there for Tuggle, either. He’s got more visits lined up before his return to Ole Miss. He’s set to visit the Alabama Crimson Tide on October 10 and the Tennessee Volunteers on October 17. After his FSU trip, he’s also planning to return to Ole Miss on November 7 for their game against the Georgia Bulldogs. With all these visits happening after his commitment, especially the one to FSU, it’s clear this recruitment isn’t over. Get ready to see if FSU can make a big move.
