  "account": "The Florida State Seminoles are optimistic about retaining their top high school football recruit, Za Kari Johnson. Although he has been visited by several schools, Johnson has been vocal about his commitment to FSU. \"I'm glad to be committed here, I can't wait to be a Seminole,\" Johnson stated following a recent game against the Virginia Cavaliers.\n\nJohnson's strong interest in Florida State is further evidenced by his plans to attend an official visit during the team's upcoming game against the Clemson Tigers on October 31. Despite the presence of other high-profile programs like the Miami Hurricanes, Auburn Tigers, Texas A&M Aggies, and Florida Gators, Johnson appears to be locked in with FSU. The Seminoles are currently ranked as his 21st best prospect in the nation, and 30th in the state of Florida.",
