Florida State accomplished a lot of what it needed to during the early signing period, with new head coach Mike Norvell holding onto several key commitments and also landing some big prospects late, including a pair of talented quarterbacks.

Now, the Seminoles will turn their attention to February's National Signing Day and addressing their major needs at offensive tackle, defensive end and running back, along with other less-pressing issues.

Here's a rundown of some of the top prospects the new FSU coaches will be focusing on as they begin that quest.

Running back (Need: 2-3)

Overview on the RB position

FSU signed one running back in the early signing period and would like to add two or three more, with one possibly coming via the transfer route. FSU currently has two scholarship RBs returning in Anthony Grant and Khalan Laborn, but both are coming off of rocky 2019 seasons -- Grant left the team for a long period of time due to "personal issues," and Laborn was suspended late in the year for a violation of team rules.

The Skinny on Edwards; Where FSU stands in recruitment

Edwards leaned toward FSU for much of the recruiting process, until Georgia started making a push. But with five-star Zach Evans now looking likely for the Bulldogs, things appear to be trending well again for Edwards and FSU. He officially visits early in January, although the date hasn't been set yet. Kentucky, Florida and others will continue pushing for Edwards, but the 'Noles sit in a good spot for now.

The Skinny on Gibbs; Where FSU stands in recruitment

FSU recently offered Gibbs during the early signing period and would love to get him on campus for a visit. We also hear that LSU is trying to make a push here, along with Florida. Gibbs does have a relationship already with FSU OC Kenny Dillingham, and we are told Gibbs has already talked to Norvell and Dillingham several times. He's committed to GT, but that seems like a soft verbal and he's likely to end up elsewhere.

The Skinny on Webb; Where FSU stands in recruitment

Originally from Opelika (AL)

Webb has been talking with Norvell since he got the FSU job. He's expected to officially visit the 'Noles during the first weekend of the open period in January. He was recently just offered by FSU this week and seems elated by the offer. He also has a bond with Dillingham and seems very intrigued by FSU. He's certainly a name to get familiar with. We'll know a lot more when he arrives on campus but with offer in hand the Noles are now a major threat for Webb.
