"Receiver Breakdown": Johnny Wilson Leads Stacked FSU Football Wide Reciever Room & CFB is on notice of Seminoles for 2023 Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave continue the way-too-early talk with the start of position previews - beginning with the wide receivers!

It’s tough to pick a position group on the team for “most improved” and not immediately think of the wide receivers. With a handful of transfers coming in at the position entering 2022, hopes were high for a long-awaited turnaround at the position; and that’s exactly what we got. With a breakout season from Johnny Wilson making tough catch after tough catch, to Mycah Pittman proving himself equal parts reliable and hard-nosed, the position finally saw competency and production, allowing Jordan Travis and the offense as a whole to flourish.

Entering 2023, the ‘Noles bring back the vast majority of key contributors at the WR position, with Johnny Wilson and Mycah Pittman sure to start; Kentron Portier and Darrion Williamson showing flashes that warrant meaningful playing time; 2022 transfer Winston Wright returning from injury to try to reclaim the all-conference production he generated at West Virginia; uber-talented freshman Hykeem Williams and Vandrevius Jacobs entering the shuffle; and players like Ja’Khi Douglas and Josh Burrell still waiting for a chance to prove themselves.

Indeed, the Seminoles return so much talent and production that a productive contributor like Malik McClain departed via the transfer portal.

Drake and Dave are here to explain why production at wide receiver should only take another step forward in 2023, offering you their top-5 at the position and a surprise/sleeper candidate to keep an eye on.

As always, thanks for making Locked on Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

"There is A Path": How Florida State Football Has A Strong Case to Push for ACC Title and CFP Spot in 2023 Season Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave begin the way-too-early talk with a game-by-game mini-preview of each game, to arrive at a season win total (hint: we’re talking playoffs)!

With a 10-win season under their belt, a boatload of elite talent returning—including a Heisman-contender at QB with Jordan Travis, an elite RB in Trey Benson, a stable of proven playmakers at WR, an improved and still improving offensive line, a defensive line anchored by veteran leaders in Jared Verse and Fabian Lovett, a vastly improved LB corps with Tatum Bethune and Kalen Deloach, and a DB room filled with talent and now under the tutelage of coach Pat Surtain—and a bounty of additional elite talent pouring in through the transfer portal, the 2023 season appears poised to be a win-now, money-year for Florida State football.

With a real chance to regain the ACC crown and make their second appearance in the College Football Playoff in 2023, the Seminoles’ season will of course come down to how well they can navigate their schedule. So that’s exactly what Drake and Dave do in today’s episode, briefly previewing and predicting a win or loss for each game on the schedule. While there will certainly be some tough games, tune in to find out why 2023 sets up quite well for a Florida State playoff run!

As always, thanks for making Locked on Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

"The Off-Season Ahead": FSU Football in on more Transfer Prospects, Junior Day & Who Will Fill Void Left by Treshaun Ward Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave discuss transfer portal targets from UGA, FSU’s Junior Day, and filling the void or Treshaun Ward’s departure.

First, Drake and Dave identify 2 new transfer portal targets for the ‘Noles, UGA DB Jaheim Singletary and LB Trezmen Marshall, and discuss their potential benefits to and fits on the Florida State roster.

Then, the guys discuss the apparent success of the Seminoles’ Junior Day, attended by countless blue chip targets, and the importance of replacing what should be a ton of departing talent and production from the 2023 Florida State roster.

Finally, they ask and (attempt to) answer whether the production of departed RB Treshaun Ward can be replaced with the current RBs on the roster (namely, Lawrence Toafili, Rodney Hill, Caziah Holmes, and CJ Campbell), as a supplement/spell to Trey Benson.

"Seeking Opportunity": FSU Football WR Malik McClain Hits Transfer Portal, Clemson OC Garrett Riley News & UF's NIL Issues Jan 13, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave discuss the news of WR Malik McClain departing via the transfer portal, and Clemson’s hiring of Garrett Riley from TCU as its offensive coordinator and re-hiring of Jeff Scott as an analyst, and take their turn laughing at the debacle down in Gainesville with Jaden Rashada.

First, Drake and Dave discuss the news that wide receiver Malik McClain will be playing football elsewhere next year after entering his name into the transfer portal, and explain why his loss shouldn’t hurt the Seminoles in 2023 given the logjam and embarrassment of riches currently at the WR position with Johnny Wilson, Mycah Pittman, Winston Wright, and others.

Then, the guys discuss the news that Clemson has fired its offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter, and appears to be hiring Broyles award winning OC Garrett Riley from TCU for the same position, as well as bringing back former OC Jeff Scott as an analyst, and offer their view of what this could mean for Clemson and Florida State’s forthcoming clashes with the Tigers.

Finally, they join in the fun of laughing at the mess that currently is Florida Gators football, as 5* QB commit Jaden Rashada has evidently asked to be released from his letter of intent after not receiving the millions of dollars of NIL money he was promised.

As always, thanks for making Locked on Seminoles your first listen each and every day. We thank y'all for all the love and support and hope you enjoy the show.

"A Surtain-ly Great Hire": FSU Hires Patrick Surtain Sr. as New DBs Coach & GIlber Edmond Commits to Seminoles over UF and LSU Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles! Drake and Dave discuss the newly-announced addition of Patrick Surtain Sr. as defensive backs coach, the commitment of South Carolina 4* transfer DE Gilber Edmund, and the thrashing of TCU in the National Championship game.

First, Drake and Dave discuss the new addition to Mike Norvell’s staff, as Marcus Woodson has now officially been replaced by former Dolphins DB and defensive assistant, and head coach of South Florida high school football powerhouse American Heritage, Patrick Surtain Sr., and offer their insight into how his recruiting and player development should benefit the Seminoles.

Then, the guys discuss the newest South Carolina Gamecock to transfer to Florida State, this time 4* transfer defensive end Gilber Edmond, and trusting in #MikeGotUs they explain what to expect from Edmond in Garnet and Gold.

Finally, they discuss the national championship game—aka Georgia’s demolition of TCU—including how TCU even making the championship game bodes well for Florida State’s playoff run in 2023.

"Back For Another Verse": Jared Verse is Back for Seminoles in 2023, FSU Preseason Rankings and 2022 Season Awards for Noles Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave discuss the massive news of star DE Jared Verse’s decision to forego the NFL Draft and return to FSU for another season, react to some top-5 early preseason rankings the ‘Noles are receiving, and hand out some preliminary superlatives for the 2022 team.

First, Drake and Dave discuss the enormous news that star defender Jared Verse—the Seminoles’ highest rated defensive player in 2022—will return to FSU for another season instead of entering the NFL Draft that many believed would land him in the first round, and offer their insight into what this means for Florida State in 2023. Something special is brewing in Tallahassee next year!

Then, the guys discuss the early preseason rankings hype that the Seminoles are garnering, including a top-5 ranking from Brett McMurphy and others, and debate whether such a ranking is appropriate and beneficial to the ‘Noles high hopes in 2023.

Finally, they hand out some superlatives for the 2022 team, including the team’s most impactful/valuable player and, everyone’s favorite, the team’s unsung hero!

"Run It Back": Fabien Lovett Returns, Fentrell Cypress commits to FSU & Norvell coaches Seminoles to 10-win Season Jan 02, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave celebrate Florida State’s first 10-win season since 2016, following its victory over the Oklahoma Sooners, as well as the announced return of star DT Fabien Lovett and the transfer addition of lockdown CB Fentrell Cypress from UVA.

First, Drake and Dave offer their thoughts on Mike Norvell and the Seminoles’ hard-fought 35-32 victory over Oklahoma in the Cheez-It Bowl, including an offense that’s still humming and a defense that took Oklahoma’s best and survived.

Then, the guys delight in the news that star defensive tackle Fabien Lovett—arguably the most impactful player on FSU’s defense—will forego the NFL Draft and return to FSU for another season, alongside the myriad of other returning impact players, and explain why his return is so important and what it could mean for the defense in 2023.

Finally, they celebrate even more big news, with true shutdown CB Fentrell Cypress announcing his transfer to Florida State, and discuss what that addition could mean for the defense, and what remains to be done in the portal to maximize the 2023 season.

"We Ain't Done Yet": FSU Lands UM Transfer Darrell Jackson & Tatum Bethune, Trey Benson and Robert Scott return for 2023 Dec 10, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to another episode of Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast! Drake and Dave discuss all the transfer news today, namely Darrell Jackson transferring in from Miami and a barrage of Florida State’s core contributors announcing their return for next year.

First, Drake and Dave discuss the impact of Miami interior defensive line transfer, Darrell Jackson, who started all 12 games for Miami this year, is a sure tackler and sound against the run, and will likely plug-and-play as a starter for Florida State next season.

Then, the guys discuss the news and impact of a flurry of announcements from key current Seminoles, some of whom we thought might be testing their luck in the NFL Draft (and some of whom we hadn’t considered whether they may be transfer candidates), including Jordan Travis, Trey Benson, Micah Pittman, Mo Smith, Robert Scott, and more on the offense, as well as Tatum Bethun, Kalen Deloach, Renardo Green, and Jarrian Jones on the defense. Does this continuity portend an ACC Championship-level team next year?
