On Thursday, Florida State’s online fanbase was aflutter with the rumor that the Seminoles actually have two additional recruits who have yet to come forward. The purported news, which was first put forward by FSU recruit Levonta Taylor, was given additional credence when Rivals.com recruiting analyst Adam Friedman echoed Taylor’s comments and gave them a bit more oomph, as you can see below.

It’s not often that a recruiting analyst will hop in to support the claim that a group of players have silently committed to join a program. After all, there’s nothing necessarily in it for him; until they make that desire public, they’re still just undecided recruits. Now, everyone is convinced that there are two more Florida State commits out there, which has led to precisely the kind of scavenger hunt that you might expect.

So, to jump in on the act, who are the unnamed, silent ‘Noles in waiting? All the smoke signals are pointing directly toward Naseir Upshur as one. Late Wednesday night Upshur announced that he was postponing all future interviews until after he had announced his collegiate decision, which he promised would come in the near days.

Upshur is a rising senior tight end at Imhotep Institute in Philadelphia, where a lack of a local national power program has raised the hopes of a number of national powers. One is Florida State, which has heavily recruited the 6-foot-2, 233-pounder since the get-go, leading to the speculation about his impending decision.

As for the other ‘silent commit’, no one seems to have put a finger on it yet, though that hasn’t stopped people from proffering a best guess.
