Evaluators note weaknesses such as needing to fill out his frame, potential RPO/schematic limitations, inconsistent accuracy, average intermediate velocity, and a quieter off-field presence that could affect leadership perception.
Attention shifts to five offensive targets who could join Flaherty once official visits begin.
Evaluators praise Flaherty’s quick decision-making, pre-play reads, rushing ability, off-platform mobility, and ability to throw deep; he’s described as tough and willing to take contact.
FSU is focusing on stacking wide receiver talent in the 2027 class and emphasizes ongoing offensive recruiting and impact from upcoming visits and commitments.
UCF’s quarterback situation remains promising with Marriott and a potential immediate contribution from transfer Alonza Barnett III entering the picture.
Flaherty’s ability to extend plays and fit Norvell’s offense could lead to advanced passing development, potentially surpassing the high school trajectory of prior QBs.
Assistant coach Tim Harris Jr. is highlighted as a top recruiter driving Florida State’s wide receiver recruiting momentum.
