FSU football lands official visit from 5-star pass rusher

Florida State will host one of the top pass-rushers in the country for an official visit this summer.

The Seminoles are in danger of slipping out of the top-25 in the recruiting rankings and haven't landed a pledge along the defensive front.

That's something the coaching staff is looking to change over the next few months.

According to Rivals' Sam Spiegelman, five-star defensive end Tristian Givens has locked in trips to Florida State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.

The Seminoles made his top seven shortly after his last trip to campus.

The Seminoles will need to make another big impression on Givens to have any chance of fending off the Volunteers and Aggies.

Given is coming off a junior season where he recorded 29 tackles for loss and 12 sacks for Carver High School.

The 6-foot-3.5, 215-pound defensive end is regarded as the No.
