In a stunning announcement that’s sent shockwaves through the college football world, Joshua — widely regarded as the No. 1 high school football player in America — has committed to Florida State University (FSU), choosing the Seminoles over powerhouse programs like Tennessee and Georgia.
What makes this commitment even more jaw-dropping is Joshua’s rare physical stature. Standing at an unbelievable 8.5 feet tall, he has become a viral sensation not just for his game-changing skills, but also for his towering presence on the field. Coaches, analysts, and fans alike have marveled at his combination of height, agility, and football IQ — a combination many say has never been seen before.
Joshua, a five-star recruit, has dominated on both sides of the ball during his high school career, playing as a defensive end and tight end. His ability to disrupt plays, block passes, and bulldoze through opposing lines made him the most coveted player in the 2025 class.
The decision to join FSU is seen as a major recruiting win for head coach Mike Norvell and his staff, who have worked tirelessly to rebuild the program into a national contender. Sources close to Joshua say he was drawn to the culture, coaching staff, and the opportunity to be part of a resurgent Seminole team.
“FSU just felt like home,” Joshua said in a brief statement. “I believe in what they’re building, and I want to be a part of it.”
With Joshua’s commitment, Florida State sends a strong message to the college football landscape: the Seminoles are not only back — they’re coming for the top. Expectations are already sky-high for what Joshua will bring to Tallahassee in the coming seasons.
