Florida State has three-star prospects Anthony Cavallaro and Jaxon Holly committed at the edge position in the 2027 cycle. They're trying to add another, and they've offered an unranked recruit, Joshua Benka-Coker from the Pennington School in New Jersey.
"Blessed to receive an offer from Florida state🙏🏿," Benka-Coker announced.
FSU joins several other programs that have offered the 6-foot-7, 230-pounder. Some of the others are the Missouri Tigers, Michigan State Spartans, USC Trojans, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, and West Virginia Mountaineers.
Benka-Coker didn't start playing football until August due to being a basketball player. However, he shined immensely in his first year on the gridiron. Benka-Coker played in eight games and recorded an unreal
18.5 sacks. So, it's perfectly clear why he's received the amount of attention he has in such a short amount of time.
He will be an intriguing name to keep an eye on as Florida State looks to add their 14 commits in 2027.
