JUCO defensive lineman names Florida State in top three after visit
Florida State hosted JUCO defensive Malachi Brown on Thursday. He's named the Seminoles in his top three as his decision looms.
Florida State is working diligently to fill out its roster defensively for the 2026 season. JUCO defensive lineman Malachi Brown, out of Monterey Peninsula College, is one of their top targets, and he visited with the Seminoles on Thursday after arriving on Wednesday night. The 6-foot-2, 315-pounder wants to make a decision before he graduates on May 22, and he wants to do so at least one week before the ceremony.
Brown has narrowed his choices down to FSU, the Kansas Jayhawks, and the Colorado Buffaloes . Brown was extended an offer from the Seminoles while he was on campus. It was a special moment for him, as well as a very important member of his family who accompanied him on the trip.
"It was amazing. My mom cried a little bit. But it was good," Brown told Noles247 .
"It felt like it's been a lifelong dream to even be able to say I could play college football. So to say I played at Florida State is even crazier. Yeah.
