Donald Akhibi brings rare frame and upside to FSU’s offensive line room
Akhibi is a 6-foot-7, 260- to 275-pound freshman offensive tackle for Florida State in the 2026 season, and the appeal is obvious: size, length, and developmental upside[1][5][14]. Recruiting outlets described him as a three-star prospect whose value comes from his frame and athleticism rather than polished star power, with one report saying FSU specifically liked his size and movement traits[2][12]. He also has a blue-collar edge—he was a late addition who initially leaned toward Western Illinois before FSU landed him, which suggests a player hungry to prove himself[2][6].
