FSU's Experience Advantage Aug 26, 2023

Show notes

Florida State’s experience – and its playmakers – hold an advantage over LSU.

FSU wide receivers vs LSU cornerbacks

**76 career games for Coleman, Wright and Wilson

**LSU’s cornerback have 69 career games, but 31 are from the FCS level

**Sage Ryan moved to CB from safety/nickel

FSU Impact Players

**There are the obvious players like Jordan Travis and Trey Benson

**The Seminoles possess depth at spots like defensive end like Gilber Edmond, too

**There will be a surprise FSU player off the bench

Bombs Away

**With all of FSU’s experience, plus LSU needing to concentrate on slowing down the rushing attack, look for FSU to throw deep

**Plus, LSU’s inexperience and/or lack of chemistry at cornerback will lead to mental errors

**FSU will score at least one time in large part to the difference in experience, via the deep ball.

FSU's Impact Recruits? Aug 25, 2023

Show notes

The Florida State Seminoles signed a really good 2023 recruiting class, but which prospects become impact freshmen?

Five FSU Recruits to Watch

**Speed, length, savvy, intelligent, and mature for his age, watch out for Conrad Hussey from Saint Thomas Aquinas

**Fellow defensive back recruit Kenton “KJ” Kirkland (pictured on LO Seminoles YouTube), that’s another freshman that’s intelligent enough to learn the schemes and be an impact recruit.

**Three more freshmen were mentioned in this segment as well

Florida State Depth Chart Concerns?

**FSU has created a depth chart full of experienced and talented players, but how well will that group of players – on offense as well as defense – mesh and become effective units?

**Biggest concerns would be depth at tight end, as well as continuing to find additional players that can rush the passer.

**Will there be a surprise player that emerges this season?

FSU: Transfer Portal Champions

**While too many teams took bad fits and sometimes just mediocre to bad players, Mike Norvell and his coaching staff have done a tremendous job of signing talented transfer players that have so far fit across all the positions.

**For instance, where would FSU be without Jordan Travis? How about the three starting wide receivers that came to Tallahassee via the Transfer Portal?

**Florida State’s defense has been transformed with players like defensive end Jared Verse and linebacker Tatum Bethune.

Maason Smith Suspended, Noles Take Advantage? Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

With LSU’s Maason Smith suspended, will the Florida State Seminoles fully take advantage?

Defining Maason Smith as a player

**Elite interior defensive lineman that can rush the passer

**Talented enough to earn double teams

**Athleticism to chase down players over 100 pounds lighter than himself

Florida State’s game plan changes?

**Losing Smith changes LSU’s rotation, so Noles could run more

**LSU defensive tackles Mekhi Wingo and Jacobian Guillory could now see many double teams

**Florida State will have more play calling options with Smith out

Shame on the NCAA

**Smith missed 2022 with an injury; the NCAA should not have suspended him

**In addition to Smith missing a key game, college football fans are also cheated by not seeing him play for LSU versus FSU

**The NCAA needs to focus on what’s really happening with recruiting and NIL

Scouting FSU Commitment Micahi Danzy Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

Florida State Seminoles fans, here’s the lineup for the three segments from today’s Locked On Seminoles podcast:

Up first is Florida State running back verbal commitment Micahi Danzy. Tallahassee (Fla.) Florida State University prospect is a special young man on the field, and off of it as well. Yes, he plays at the high school directly built in conjunction with Florida State University itself. He does a great job representing himself and those around him as well.

**Tremendous speed. He told me he ran a 45.99 in the 400. Seeing him move at practice, it’s no wonder that Danzy had a bevy of scholarship offers. Danzy chose the Seminoles over the Gators.

**He’s also a great young man and one that’s articulate and thoughtful. He’s going to represent FSU well when he’s not on the gridiron either.

Second segment: FSU running back Trey Benson.

**Is he going to impact the game as a blocker, runner and receiver? If he can get going in the running game, make a few plays, that opens the passing game for Jordan Travis.

**Additionally, Benson could be called upon to make some plays out of the backfield. If he gets matched up with LSU linebacker Harold Perkins, that’s going to be a blast to watch!

Third segment: Seminoles linebackers need to make at least one big play during the early portion of the contest.

**Could be creating a fumble, a short-yardage stop, or perhaps picking off a Jayden Daniels pass.

**FSU gaining a potential momentum shift from a linebacker like Tatum Bethune could be the difference in the final outcome between the Seminoles and Tigers.

Making FSU's 2024 Recruiting Class 'ELITE' Aug 23, 2023

Show notes

For the 2024 recruiting class, the Florida State Seminoles are in an enviable position. Top talent at several positions have helped FSU be recognized as one of the best recruiting programs in the nation.

What helped the Noles get there, why this class is already validated, and what’s left to finish out the 2024 recruiting cycle.

Impact Prospects
Fill Positions of Need
Quarterback, Cornerback, Defensive Line

Some of the recruits with impact potential:

Kam Davis - RB
Landen Thomas - Flex TE
Micahi Danzy - RB (sub 45.99 400 meters!)
Charles Lester - CB
KJ Bolden - FS
BJ Gibson - WR
Lawayne McCoy - WR
Jayden Parrish - LB

Noles gaining elite talent at QB, CB and DL

Quarterback Luke Kromenhoek
Cornerback Charles Lester
Defensive End Daniel “DD” Holmes - SDE - speed rusher, too!

Needs to finish 2024 class

Sign top talent or save the scholarship
Need at least one big-time defensive tackle (Artavius Jones?)
Adding other truly elite players is obviously welcome, too

Jordan Travis's Heisman Chances? Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis can compete for the Heisman, and he’s already proven to be a top contender.

● His dual-threat statistics from last season were spectacular. The 24 TD to 5 INT ratio was a great start. So was his 5.1 yards per carry average and 7 rushing touchdowns

● Clutch plays versus big-time teams. Travis placed stress on a defense and he will be even better in 2023 with more experience and more weapons.

● Travis has several big games this year to showcase his talents: LSU, Clemson, Miami and Florida will be some of the games he can increase his Heisman Trophy odds.

● If possible, it would be great for FSU to play UNC and quarterback Drake Maye in the ACC Title Game. That would be an all-eyes on the quarterback situation.

● The last segment also discussed FSU’s future with quarterback commitment Luke Kromenhoek, another dual-threat quarterback with a lot of talent.

NCAA: Set FSU's Darrell Jackson Free! Aug 20, 2023

Show notes

Florida State Seminoles defensive tackle Darrell Jackson (6-foot-6, 300 pounds) has yet to be given a waiver by the NCAA. That's not the worst of it. He came to FSU from Miami because of his mother. He wants to help her out and they actually live near Tallahassee. Seems simple, right?

Not so fast! The NCAA has not allowed Jackson to play. The rule that's being used against Jackson wasn't even in place the day he made an effort to gain the waiver. It's crazy. A rule that was established shortly afterwards has been used, essentially, against a young man returning to help his mom. Shameful effort by the NCAA.

Also on this podcast will be discussion points about how Jackson can help Mike Norvell and the Seminoles this season. Playing along the interior of FSU's defensive line, with Fabian Walker, Braden Fiske, and Dennis Briggs among others, that would give FSU a chance to be dominant up front.

Lastly, discussion about FSU's incredible history at the defensive tackle position. Even Odell Hagins played along the interior for the Noles! This podcast brings up some of the best defensive tackles and nose guards to wear the Garnet and Gold.

FSU Commitment Lawayne McCoy's Impact Aug 20, 2023

Show notes

How talented is Florida State wide receiver commitment Lawayne McCoy? Today's show breaks down his talents, helping define why he was such a big-time get for Mike Norvell and the Seminoles.

Lawayne McCoy - FSU Commit

Elite Hands
Tough Receptions
Catches in traffic
Balance
Suddenness
Good Routes
Speed
Explosive first step
Beats top competition

***Florida State's wide receiver room has started to take shape with excellent prospects from the 2023 class, and now the 2024 group has begun to build as well. Recruits like Hykeem Williams, Darren Lawrence, and Vandrevius Jacobs were signed last year, and McCoy has been added to Camdon Frier, BJ Gibson, and Elijah Moore.

This podcast discussed how McCoy fits in with each of those players and how the matchups will soon be even more difficult for FSU opponents.
