The Skinny on FSU & OL Justin Armella

There's no question that Julian Armella is a target the 'Noles have spent a lot of time on, and while many people talk about him being a Florida State legacy, the 'Noles have wisely focused more on the relationship side of things. OL coach Alex Atkins has led the charge, but head coach Mike Norvell is also personally involved in this recruitment, and that bond is growing strong. In fact, I'm told one of the first visits Armella is going to take will be to Florida State because he wants to see things for himself. That possibly could be for the spring game or when the dead period is lifted in June.

Despite rumors, there are no leaders for Armella, who is focused on the visits. I hear that LSU and Alabama are the biggest threats for FSU, but the Seminoles are very much in the mix. The upcoming visits will play a major factor.
