Florida State is looking at a strong 2023 performance on the field while continuing work on the recruiting trail for the future. One player in the mix for the class of 2025 released an updated top programs list, and the Seminoles are still in the hunt.

The player is Tarvos “TJ” Alford, an in-state linebacker who unveiled his top 10 list on Thursday. Florida State landed in the list alongside fellow in-state rivals in Miami and Florida. UCF — another in-state program — was included along with Penn State, Georgia, Ohio State, Rutgers, Tennessee and Louisville.

Alford is listed at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds out of Vero Beach, Florida. According to the 247 Sports Composite, Alford is a 4-star recruit, the No. 12 LB in the country and the 14th overall recruit out of Florida for the class of 2025. He’s also a top-100 prospect for the cycle.

Already, Florida State holds a pair of commitments for the 2025 cycle with both hailing as in-state recruits. Those players are 3-star safety Ethan Pritchard and 3-star QB Tramell Jones Jr.
