While we wait for Florida State football to kick off its season on September 3 against LSU, high school football across the country is underway.

The Seminoles had a busy offseason on the recruiting trail and their top recruits are showing just how good they are under the Friday night lights. From Tallahassee to California, FSU's recruiting presence will be felt nationwide this fall.

Here is what FSU's commits were up to in Week 1 and where you can find them this week.
