Willie Taggart’s successful SNL recruiting event is Saturday. Here’s who is coming.

Willie Taggart’s recruiting event, Saturday Night Live, is happening this weekend in Tallahassee. In his previous stop at Oregon, the event drew 7,000 fans, according to 247 Sports.

Now in its second year and first at Florida State, which officially begins the Taggart era when the Seminoles play Virginia Tech on Labor Day weekend, the event has multiple high-level recruits planned to attend.

According to the Tallahassee Democrat, the country’s overall No. 1 recruit Kayvon Thibodeaux, a consensus 5-star defensive end from Los Angeles, is one of five 5-star rising seniors or juniors expected to attend.

Thibodeaux previously was scheduled to visit the University of Florida on Friday, but he tweeted his flight was canceled to nix that trip.

Other top recruits scheduled to appear Saturday for the SNL event that starts at 4 p.m. at Doak Campbell Stadium, according to the Tallahassee Democrat, are as follows (bold names are FSU commits):
