Florida State is off to a good start in its 2023 recruiting class. The Seminoles already have 6 commitments, and the group ranks No. 16 nationally according to 247Sports Composite rankings. Having a top quarterback will also likely help with bringing in other elite recruits.
Parson will be able to officially sign with Florida State during the Early Signing Period in December.
