Florida State's recruiting season is heating up, and the Seminoles have already added to their 2023 class before their Elite Junior Day on Saturday even wraps up.

Defensive line prospect Keith 'KJ' Sampson, who visited FSU on Saturday for the start of spring practice, has verbally committed to FSU.

Sampson announced the decision on social media shortly after FSU's practice ended.

Sampson becomes the fifth verbal commitment for Florida State's 2023 class, joining quarterback Chris Parson, legacy linebacker Lamont Green, tight end Randy Pittman, and wideout Vandrevius Jacobs.

"Coach Norvell, he's just a good man, Him and Coach [Odell] Haggins, they really are the two main guys I have been talking to," Sampson said. "Everything that they said to me over the phone, it was the same exact thing when I got here. It wasn't like they were acting one was on the phone and then another way when I got here."
