Florida State is trying to keep 2028 four-star wide receiver Bubba Brown, who attends Florida State University High School in Tallahassee, as he's been one of their key targets in the cycle. However, with over 20 offers, they'll have to fight to make that a reality.
The 6-foot-2, 190-pounder has reached a pivotal point in his recruitment. He is down to 10 schools that he will choose from, and FSU is one of them, per Hayes Fawcett of Rivals. The Miami Hurricanes, Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide, Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, Texas A&M Aggies, South Carolina Gamecocks, Tennessee Volunteers, and Memphis Tigers round out his choices.
Brown first visited Florida State last October when they played Miami, and then they offered him three days
later. He took an unofficial visit in March to see the program, and he's also taken four visits this season.
Just before the season started, Brown spoke on his relationship with FSU's staff, and one member in particular has been pushing hard to keep him local.
"Tim Harris reaches out a lot, making sure I'm mentally good outside of football," Brown said back in August. "Like I said, he wants me to come because I'm right here in the backyard, so he's not wasting no time or playing around with it."
Brown is the nation's No. 144 overall recruit and the No. 23 wide receiver per the Rivals industry rankings. In the state of Florida, he ranks as the No. 15 prospect.
Florida has a prediction to land Brown. This means that Florida State has some work to do, which includes beating their rival in Tallahassee to end the season.
