Florida State has secured a significant commitment in the 2025 recruiting class with the addition of four-star offensive tackle Mario Nash. The 6-foot-4, 290-pound prospect from Mississippi announced his decision to join the Seminoles just days after taking an official visit to Tallahassee for the Florida State-Clemson game. Initially committed to Mississippi State, Nash decided to back off his pledge after his visit to FSU, showcasing how impactful the trip was in swaying his decision.
In his commitment announcement on social media, Nash expressed gratitude to all the coaches who recruited him and to his parents for their unwavering support. “I’m truly grateful for every Coach that has recruited me and spent valuable time pursuing me,” Nash wrote. “I want to thank my parents for being by my side to help guide me through this journey. I want to thank all of my Coaches who have helped develop me along the way.” He closed the message by stating, “With that being said, I am shutting down my recruitment and committing to the Florida State Seminoles. Time to CLIMB!”
Nash’s decision to join Florida State comes at a pivotal moment for the program. His commitment is a much-needed boost for FSU, especially after a disappointing loss just hours before when four-star wide receiver Daylan McCutcheon flipped his commitment from the Seminoles to the Texas Longhorns. McCutcheon’s decision came after an official visit to Austin, just days after FSU had been in the Dallas-Fort Worth area playing SMU, close to McCutcheon’s home.
Nash’s commitment is a significant win for head coach Mike Norvell and the Seminoles’ recruiting efforts. As a top-300 prospect in the 2025 class, Nash is one of the premier offensive line talents in the country, ranking among the top-10 players in Mississippi. His addition bolsters an already solid offensive line group and gives FSU a promising player who can make an impact early in his college career. His size, strength, and ability to dominate in the trenches make him a valuable asset for the Seminoles as they continue to build toward future success.
As Nash begins his journey with Florida State, the Seminoles will look to build on his commitment and continue recruiting key players to strengthen their roster. With players like Nash in the fold, FSU’s future on the offensive line looks bright.
