Cole Minshew, of Douglas (Ga.) Coffee County, is one of the top offensive linemen in the Southeast. Sunday, he competed at the Nike football recruit training camp in Atlanta. And while Minshew did not stand out in 1-on-1s, he did come in at an impressive 6’6, 319, and looked good in drills.
Cole Minshew ‘75 percent committed’ to Florida State: Will Georgia offer OL recruit?
“It’s a great environment to be able to compete against the top athletes in Georgia,” Minshew said of the Nike event.
Before the event, I spoke with Minshew, who has been committed to Florida State for about a month.
“I’m probably 75 percent committed to Florida State, but there is one school that might change my mind,” Minshew said.
The school? The in-state Georgia Bulldogs, who have not yet offered Minshew.
“I grew up a pretty big Georgia fan,” Minshew said.
Despite that, Minshew has a better current relationship with FSU’s coaches.
“My relationship with Florida State is closer than my relationship with Georgia, because Florida State was on me earlier,” Minshew said.
Could a Georgia offer come soon?
“Yessir, they are evaluating me and said an offer could come at any time,” Minshew said of the Bulldogs.
Minshew will look to further his relationship with FSU this week, when he visits Tallahassee.
He also is looking to visit South Carolina after his FSU visit, as the Gamecocks have been pressing hard for him to make the trip.
Coming in at 6’6 and 319, I wondered if some teams are looking at Minshew as a tackle and not just a guard or center -- which FSU is currently wanting him to play.
“It’s about the same with everyone, really,” Minshew said.
