Avg. Star Rating for Top 20 Commits - 3.90

Headliner: #2 S Karlos Williams - Davenport, Fla.

A year ago Florida State announced that it was back as a national power in recruiting when the Seminoles solidified their coaching staff and got commitments from three 5-Star prospects after the 2009 season had ended. Florida State picked up right where it left off and is poised to finish with the No. 1 recruiting class on Scout for the first time. Texas had held the top spot for the last six months, but a strong January showing by some of Florida State's early commitments including 5-Star safety Karlos Williams (6'2/210) and 5-Star offensive lineman Bobby Hart (6'5/298) along with additions like tight end Nick O'Leary and receiver Kelvin Benjamin have pushed the 'Noles to the top of the recruiting world. If there's a concern in this class, it may be at the quarterback position. It's not a strong year in the south in general for quarterbacks, but Florida State has gotten a commitment from 3-Star Jacob Coker. Coker has nice size at 6'5 and 210 pounds, but he is considered a developmental prospect.
