Florida State got one of its top offensive line targets in Seminole (Fla.) four-star Max Buchanan on campus this past weekend for their Legacy event and he came away from the trip making a monumental change to his upcoming visit schedule.
Buchanan — who previously did not have a summer official visit locked in with FSU — tells Noles247.com that he has cancelled his initially planned official visit to Florida for June 7-9 and replaced it with a trip to FSU for those same dates.
Not only will the Seminoles now get an official visit from the talented in-state lineman, they’re hurting one of their in-state rivals in the process.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pounder enjoyed getting to be around FSU’s practice on Saturday along with the opportunity to connect with the former players on campus in Tallahassee.
“It was amazing. Being able to be at the practice today. The intensity and speed of the practice, also the energy of it, is amazing,” Buchanan said. “That’s how I would envision a high quality team having their practices. Being around all of the ex-players there that are very known, they’re all great guys. Went and talked to a few of them. They were very welcoming. They had great things to say about the program.”
The message from FSU’s former players on campus was centered on their thoughts on head coach Mike Norvell.
“The whole message was that he’s the best coach,” he said of the message from FSU’s former players on campus for Legacy Weekend. “And he’s proven that. It’s not more of what he could do, it’s what he is doing. How he’s going to make you a great football player but also a great person in general and grow you from being a boy to a man.”
