Let me pre-face this by saying I know every kid in Ohio doesn't grow up learning to be a Buckeye so I know it possible but I'm just saying in general.
This rivals national article about national presence got me thinking. I think they are underselling the state that the other local programs who were recruiting Wilson and Akers were in.
Ole Miss? nuff said

A statement was made the second five-star Marvin Wilson announced for Florida State on National Signing Day, unzipping a warm-up jacket to show an FSU T-shirt and donning an FSU visor.
The Seminoles could go anywhere, beat out any school, for anyone.
Florida State has recruited phenomenally well for years, but getting Wilson, the No. 2 overall prospect out of Houston (Texas) Episcopal and a monumental priority for LSU for years, had more meaning. Other players like five-star Mario Edwards went from Texas to FSU, but Edwards’ father played for the Seminoles.
For Florida State to land Wilson and to get five-star running backs Cam Akers and Khalan Laborn out of Mississippi and Virginia, respectively, meant coach Jimbo Fisher and his staff cannot be counted out of any recruitment.
National reach was no problem.
