FSU in strong position for safety Ta'Shawn Poole amid recruitment battle

Florida State Seminoles are competing with the Tennessee Volunteers to secure four-star safety Ta'Shawn Poole. After hosting Poole for an official visit, FSU appears to be the frontrunner, prompting him to cancel a subsequent visit to the Miami Hurricanes. Poole is ranked as the No. 64 overall player and No. 5 safety in the 247Sports composite rankings. FSU aims to enhance its recruitment class, which currently ranks in the bottom third of the ACC, by landing Poole, who would be their highest-ranked commitment. The Seminoles also have one safety committed, Jemari Foreman, but face competition as another ACC school shows interest.
