Ramsey (N.J.) Don Bosco Prep four-star linebacker Mikahi Allen, one of the top 2027 prospects in the Northeast, is visiting Florida State this weekend for a junior day event. Allen has garnered interest from several high-profile programs and is looking to take more visits between his junior and senior seasons before making a decision.

Why it matters

Landing top recruits like Allen is crucial for Florida State as they look to rebuild their program and return to national prominence. Allen is a highly sought-after prospect, so his visit to Tallahassee could be a significant step in the Seminoles' efforts to add him to their 2027 recruiting class.

The details

Allen, a 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker, has offers from Alabama, LSU, Texas, and several other major programs. He plans to take his recruitment into the December signing period, but Florida State is hoping to make a strong impression on him during this junior day visit. The Seminoles have already secured commitments from four players in the 2027 class, including four-star EDGE Anthony Cavallaro and four-star linebacker Gregory Batson.

  • Allen is visiting Florida State this weekend for a junior day event.

What they’re saying

“When I commit, it's going to be about how I can grow and mature as a man.”

— Mikahi Allen

“There's been a lot of consistency. Tennessee, Illinois, Texas A&M, Indiana and others are reaching out every week. How they communicate means a lot to me. It shows how much of a priority I am to them. When coaches take time out of their day to reach out, that's a really good feeling.”

— Mikahi Allen

What’s next

Allen plans to continue taking visits between his junior and senior seasons before making a decision on where he will play college football. The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.

The takeaway

Securing a commitment from a top-tier recruit like Mikahi Allen would be a major coup for Florida State as they look to rebuild their program. Allen's recruitment will be closely watched in the coming months, as he weighs offers from several of the nation's premier college football programs.
