FSU is in the mix for key in-state edge target

Santana Harvey is one of the top defensive linemen in the state of Florida, and someone the Florida State Seminoles are prioritizing. They have plenty of competetion for the four-star prospect, who is also considering the Clemson Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, and Kentucky Wildcats.

He has scheduled official visits with every program except Kentucky for this summer, and they will play a key role in his recruitment. The Lakeland, Florida, native spoke with Zach Blostein of Noles247 about his recruitment and explained why he is interested in the Seminoles, the only in-state school he is considering.

"Florida State -- the opportunity to stay home, and why not be able to have the opportunity to do it four hours away instead of a couple hours away, a couple days away from other states," he said.

Harvey is a key target for FSU edge and pass rush coach Nick Williams, who recently visited him at his home. The Seminoles currently have one edge rusher committed in Anthony Cavallaro, but they need to keep adding to the class.

He is ranked as the No. 282 overall player and No. 35 defensive lineman in the 247Sports composite. He is also the No. 26 player from Florida. He is the second-highest-ranked defensive lineman from Florida, and the highest that FSU is involved with.
