Breaking down FSU's recruiting Hot Board for 2017 (Offense)
(Updated: July 26, 2016)
The final Jimbo Fisher Camp of 2016 wrapped up late last week, and there already has been some movement on Florida State's offensive Hot Board for the Class of 2017.
Let's take a closer look at all of the offensive standouts on the Seminoles' board, and consider who could end up being part of FSU's class.

Hockman is a very firm commitment to the 'Noles. He jumped on board this spring and has been active in helping build the class. |

Sam is firm in his pledge but has shown interest in the 'Noles, we are told. Expect a visit this summer or for a game early in the season. |

The Skinny on FSU QB targets
This position is pretty much done, but FSU could add one more quarterback if it's the right fit. The 'Noles feel great about Bailey Hockman, who has been a good fit from the start. If they decide to take a second quarterback, Ehlinger would be at the top of the list. Ehlinger says he's firm to Texas, but he wants to see other schools, and FSU is one of those selected few high on his list to visit.
Blackman, meanwhile, is rising quickly up the charts after his July camp performance. Louisville and West Virginia have connections to him, so FSU will have to keep the pressure on even after the offer. But we are told the 'Noles are now heavily in the mix. Blackman plans to return to FSU for a couple of games this fall, per a source close to him.
