Max, Drake, and Dave discuss the positive reports of FSU’s transfer receivers throughout fall camp and recent scrimmages (especially for Johnny Wilson and Deuce Spann), and the potential for that unit in 2022 if these fall reports hold true.

Lastly, linebacker has been a room that Florida State hasn't had true depth since the days of Matthew Thomas and Terrence Smith.

"Keeping It Simple": Why FSU Needs To Throw The Ball More, the WRs Need to Beat Man Coverage, and We Need to Flip Our Field Position Drastically Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

Max, Drake, and Dave each offer one key statistic that hampered FSU in 2021, and explain why changing that statistic is so important to the Seminoles’ success in 2022.

Dave explains why the ‘Noles, who finished 99th in pass attempts last season, must simply throw the ball more with Jordan Travis (spoiler alert: they finished 3-1 in games where Travis attempted 25+ passes).

Drake explains why the Florida State receiving corps needs to be much better at getting separation against man coverage, after ranking outside the top-100 in 2021.

And Max explains why FSU’s average starting field position, among the bottom 4 nationally last season, must change drastically if the 2022 campaign is to be a success.

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.

"Depth Pieces": What is FSU's recruiting strategy under Norvell and Fall Camp showing Quality Roster Depth for 2022 Aug 01, 2022

Show notes

Fall camp at Florida State is already in full swing and the fellas here at Locked on Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast, are back in season with their 5 days a week worth of content and kicking things back off with our mandatory mailbag Monday.

Today, Drake and Max are here to answer the questions from you the listener. First off, they discuss the recruiting when it comes to the skill positions and in particular the Quarterback. The guys wrestle with whether or not a blue chip wide receive would come here? Why that may be changing with the visits of players such as Hykeem Williams and Jalen Brown? Most importantly, how integral is AJ Duffy to the future of this program?

Next, fellas talk about the recruiting strategy/geographical footprint being employed by Norvell and company. Seemingly striking out on Florida prospects more often than not, what do the fellas think should happen moving forward. Does Max want to employ purely an approach to the regions around Tallahassee extending into Georgia? How do we stretch out into these recurring battlegrounds and what is really going down in Miami with the Hurricanes recent recruiting success?

Lastly, the dynamic duo talk about the depth of this team across the board. How finally entering into year 3 under Mike Norvell that this will be his deepest team heading into a college football. Quite possibly a position group that may turn heads despite the lack of scholarship athletes: it may just be the Quarterbacks anchored by Jordan Travis and supported by both AJ Duffy and Tate Rodemaker.

As always, we here at Locked On Seminoles want to thank each and every single one of you for making us your first listen each and every single day and all of your love and support. WE hope you enjoy today’s episode and we’ll see all of you next time!

"The Boys of Fall": FSU Fall Camp kicks off, Jordan Travis' due for another improvement and Defensive Line Expectations Jul 26, 2022

Show notes

Finally closing the door on the dog days of summer, Fall Camp is right at our doiorstep and no one is more fired up than your folks here at Locked Seminoles, your favorite daily Florida State Seminoles sports podcast, to get you primed and ready to go for the 2022 college football schedule.

Today, Max and Drake are pumped up for fall camp and want to touch on what they want to hear, see and expect form the Seminoles this camp staring with the unquestioned QB1 Jordan Travis. With this being the first camp in his career where he is in the driver’s seat when it comes ot the starting job, what will that do for Jordan Travis’ development during what many be the most important fall camp of Mike Norvell’s FSU career?

While Jordan Travis is the focal point of the offense, what abut the weapons around him? Is Cam McDonald gone be a focal point of the offense? Will Mycah Pittman and Johnny Wilson be solid options as they come in form Oregon and Arizona State respectively? Then on the defensive side of the ball, do we need to hear more about these young defensive backs led by Omarion Cooper and Kevin Knowles and can Azaryeah Thomas breakthrough into the rotation a true freshman and will this defensive line live up to their elite billing as Fabien Lovett is a man on a mission headed to 2022.

Lastly, we wrap up with some hot takes as it is Max’s turn to give his opinion. Will he finally commit to the JT13 Heisman campaign that we all expect out of him? Does he have something nice to say about the skill position coaches when it comes to recruiting or production? Defensively, does he see a new name stand out or simply not live up to the billing?

As always, we want to thank each and every single one of you for making Locked On Seminoles your first listen each and every single day. Thank you, guys, so much for all the love and support we hope you enjoy todays show and we will see all of you all next time!
