Florida State pursues offensive tackle Timi Aliu despite commitment to Nebraska

Florida State is attempting to flip four-star offensive tackle Timi Aliu from his commitment to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Aliu, a member of the 2027 recruiting class, visited the Florida State campus last weekend during the team's season opener against the New Mexico State Aggies. Despite the interest shown by the Seminoles, analysts suggest a departure from his current commitment remains unlikely given his established relationship with the Nebraska staff. The Florida State coaching staff currently lacks an offensive line commitment for the 2027 cycle and is continuing to explore recruiting alternatives. To maintain a realistic pursuit of the prospect, Florida State likely requires improved performance throughout the current season and an opportunity to host Aliu for an official visit. The Seminoles continue their season this weekend with a matchup against the No. 19 SMU Mustangs.
