Florida State has not had a great day in the initial early signing period.

Head coach Willie Taggart is taking over for a team that had a difficult season, but the initial results from Wednesday are not a good sign for his first recruiting class.

The initial disappointment came as a result of QB Emory Jones. The Ohio State commit made a visit to Florida and Florida State before making a decision with hopes that the big time recruit would suit up for the Seminoles.

Unfortunately for FSU, Jones is heading to Gainesville and will join new Gators head coach Dan Mullen.

That would not be the only bad news involving a QB Wednesday. Michael Penix, a 3-star QB out of Tampa, was a target for FSU, but he decided to sign with Indiana.

The Seminoles would also lose 3-star LB commit Rosendo Louis to South Carolina. While that loss is likely an easier one to replace, there is no denying that FSU’s 2018 recruiting class is in need of a boost.

Barton Simmons shared a screenshot of where FSU’s class currently ranks, and it is not good. The class is currently No. 64 in the country and is ranked behind Kansas, Western Michigan, Illinois, and Boise State.

It may not be time to panic at FSU just yet, but there is no denying the Seminoles have had a terrible day to begin the early signing period.
