The Florida State Seminoles have secured a verbal commitment from three-star junior college offensive lineman David Giwa, according to reporting from Noles247.
Giwa, a sophomore at Hutchinson Community College, represents the first offensive line pledge for the Seminoles in the 2027 recruiting class.
The program moved quickly to secure the prospect after extending a scholarship offer on Oct. 28, as detailed by Yahoo Sports.
Following an official visit to campus this weekend, the coaching staff successfully closed the recruitment of the 6-foot-4, 305-pound tackle.
Giwa, who is originally from Marietta, Georgia, held additional scholarship offers from the UTSA Roadrunners, Troy Trojans, and Georgia State Panthers, among other programs.
In the 247Sports composite rankings for junior college players, Giwa is currently listed as the No. 9 overall prospect and the No. 3 offensive tackle.
This addition marks the 14th commitment for the Seminoles overall and serves as the first recruiting development since the university made the decision to fire head coach Mike Norvell.
Current data from FSU Wire indicates that the recruiting class is ranked 52nd nationally and 15th within the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The commitment follows a period of transition for the Florida State football program as they continue to navigate the current recruiting cycle.
The university continues to monitor its roster needs as it prepares for the future of the program under new leadership.
