Florida State's 2027 recruiting class is heating up, and the Seminoles just landed in the top five for one of their most coveted defensive targets. Three-star safety Jeremiah Proctor, a towering 6-foot-4, 210-pound prospect from Gainesville, Georgia, has narrowed his list of over 40 scholarship offers to just five programs: Miami, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pittsburgh, and Florida State.

Proctor's recruitment is entering a critical phase. He's set to kick off his official visit schedule in less than two weeks, starting with Tennessee on May 21. The Seminoles will get their chance to impress when he visits Tallahassee on June 5, followed by stops at Pittsburgh on June 11 and Kentucky on June 19. This will be Proctor's second trip to Florida State's campus—he previously made an unofficial visit on April 4, and the Seminoles extended their offer back on January 16.

On the field, Proctor showed flashes of his potential as a junior at Gainesville High School, recording 22 tackles, one interception, and two pass breakups in seven games. His combination of size and athleticism has made him a standout in the 2027 class, earning him a No. 598 overall ranking and No. 57 safety spot in the 247Sports composite rankings. He's also the No. 70 prospect in the talent-rich state of Georgia.

For Florida State fans, landing a player of Proctor's caliber would be a major boost to their defensive backfield. With his official visit on the horizon, all eyes will be on whether the Seminoles can make a lasting impression and secure a commitment from this rising star.
