Grading the recruiting classes: ACC

A team-by-team look at the 2016 recruiting classes in the ACC:

GradeFlorida State Seminoles

National rank: 1

FSU closed strong and filled needs, particularly up front with a great offensive line class. No. 5 OT Landon Dickerson was a big pickup on signing day. Five-star and No. 1-ranked cornerback Levonta Taylor and No. 2-ranked dual-threat quarterback Malik Henry are on board as well. They closed with CB Carlos Becker (No. 46 in ESPN 300) and ILB Dontavious Jackson (No. 123). ESPN 300 defensive end Brian Burns is a disruptive presence up front and was a good in-state get. ESPN 300 Baveon Johnson may not receive the national attention of others, being a center, but he is a difference-maker. They are joined by ESPN 300 defensive end Janarius Robinson, defensive tackle Cedric Wood and linebacker Keion Joyner. Four-star outside linebacker Emmett Rice is one to watch down the line, as is ESPN 300 offensive tackle Josh Ball. ESPN 300 running back Amir Rasul is among the fastest backs in the 2016 class. Junior college defensive tackle Walvenski Aime is expected to be an impact player.
