"The brotherhood they create within their players is special. It really is. It's not something you see in a lot of places. They're all kind of like family. It's like they've known each other their whole life. I think that's really important, especially even in the tight end room. (Deputy head coach and tight ends) coach (Chris) Thomsen, he's a great coach," Blackwell said via Noles247.
Blackwell is the No. 846 overall player nationally and the No. 42 tight end per 247Sports composite rankings. The 6-foot-4, 224 pounder is also the No. 99 prospect in the state of Georgia.

The Seminoles are looking to double dip at tight end in the 2027 cycle. Connor Winn, a three-star recruit from Jacksonville, Florida, commited last July.
