This way-too-early 2018 Mock Draft has four Florida State defenders going in the first round; what’s crazy is that this wouldn’t be the first time this happened during the 21st century.
Miami calls its recruiting class, Storm18, the real storm is in Tallahassee, Florida and his name is Derwin James.

5-star 2019 linebacker, Owen Pappoe; took a visit to FSU this weekend.
“The best part of the visit was meeting with coach Fisher,” Pappoe told Noles247 after the visit ended. “He told me that they're gonna recruit me hard and that he's not gonna pressure me to commit and also that he believes they are the best fit for me.”
Pappoe was last on campus in February. This time he brought his mom with him on the visit.
“I wanted her to come out here and experience it for herself and she told me she loved it a lot.”

Here’s what John Elway had to say about his newest defensive lineman:
We've taken DE DeMarcus Walker with our 2nd rd pick. He was a very productive pass rusher at Florida St. and will fit in well w/our defense!
