Head football coach Mike Norvell is looking to prove that he is much more than someone who can just acquire talent via the transfer portal. The Seminoles have been negatively recruited in that aspect, especially on the offensive line.
The only recruit that Alex Atkins has recruited who has played valuable snaps has been redshirt senior offensive tackle Robert Scott Jr., who was a Class of 2020 three-star prospect that the Seminoles recruited. Even though Scott Jr. is dealing with a variety of injuries, he has been pivotal to what Florida State brings to the offensive line.
That has not stopped highly-touted recruits from committing to the program as five-star interior offensive lineman Solomon Thomas and four-star interior offensive lineman Peyton Joseph have both pledged to Florida State.
