Following the decommitment of five-star quarterback Brady Smigiel on Sunday afternoon, Florida State has handed out offers to some of the top quarterbacks in the 2026 class as they start their search for a new signal caller.

In the few hours since Smigiel backed off his pledge, the Seminoles have moved quickly - offering two Rivals250 quarterbacks in Jackson (Ala.) QB Landon Duckworth and Spring (Tx.) Legacy ATH Keisean Henderson. The Seminoles have also offered currently unranked Celina (Tx.) QB Bowe Bentley, who holds 23 total offers.

He also holds offers from Georgia, LSU, Oregon and Texas.
