Breaking news: Florida State lands another high-profile addition to #Tribe26 as 2026 JUCO standout Steven Moore flips his pledge from Arkansas State to the Seminoles.
Steven Moore is a 6-foot-5, 320-pound offensive lineman currently at Garden City Community College in Bartlett, Tennessee. He’s rated as the 96th-best JUCO player in the country by 247Sports Composite, ranking 14th among offensive tackles and 21st overall among JUCO players in Tennessee. Notably, his rating surged from an 82 to an 85 in a single day after word spread that FSU would host him on an official visit.
Moore initially committed to Arkansas State on November 25 but rethought that choice after receiving an official visit invitation from Florida State. The Seminoles beat out interest from Oklahoma State, who had extended an offer this week under new head coach Eric Morris. Across the recruiting process, Moore has accumulated 22 offers from lower-tier FBS programs and several FCS programs, with official visits paid to East Carolina, Western Kentucky, Charlotte, and Fresno State. Oklahoma State even followed up with an offer after his Tallahassee trip.
Florida State appears to be targeting Moore at offensive tackle, even though most of his game tape features him at guard. He’ll be asked to contribute sooner rather than later, as the Seminoles are set to graduate a sizable amount of offensive-line experience and will need immediate depth and reliability up front.
As this saga unfolds, a few questions linger: How will Moore translate from JUCO to Power Five-level play, and can he adapt quickly enough to anchor the line in a program that’s retooling up front? What other positional fits could emerge as Moore’s college career develops? Share your thoughts on how this latest recruitment shapes Florida State’s offensive-line trajectory in the comments.
