Florida State football, recruiting news: FSU making progress along the offensive & defensive lines

Football:

Marvin Wilson is one of seven ACC defensive sophomores to watch.

Willie Taggart, during a booster visit in Lakeland, gave updates on the progress of Baveon Johnson and Mike Arnold; two important pieces for FSU to establish a good offensive line unit.

Speaking of line units FSU’s defensive line could be the strength of the team; particularly at defensive tackle.

FSU’s over/under win total is currently set at 8.5; since you can’t push an 8.5 do you have over or under?

This is a list of the top 100 110m hurdlers in the country; FSU WR signee D’Marcus Adams is tenth overall and FSU WR signee Jordan Young is tied for 30th. Some ridiculous speed is coming to Tallahassee. To put Adams’ time in perspective at the same hurdle height in college his time would be 12th in the country.

Ohio State QB transfer Joe Burrow could be headed to Cincinnati or LSU. Some pundits assumed Florida once his transfer was announced.

Recruiting:

Florida State’s recruiting is sure to spike if they allow recruits to wear these cleats on visits.

High four-star wide receiver Marcus Washington has a final six and Florida State is in it:

He could be a future five-star once it’s all said and done. In my opinion this is the best wide receiver prospect in the country.

FSU and four-star defensive line commit Quashon Fuller are back on the same page.

Other Sports:

The best way to win your fifth ACC Softball Championship in a row is with a three-run walk-off homerun.

Baseball easily swept Mount St. Mary’s in a 4-game series:

FSU Men’s Tennis set many recods this year; unfortunately, they fell to Alabama in the round of 32.

What’s better than beating Florida and advancing to the Sweet 16? Beating Florida to advance to the Sweet 16 IN GAINESVILLE.

Alumni:

Derwin James is primed to make an instant impact for the Chargers.

As long as James is healthy, this could turn out to be the steal of the draft. He’s headed to a team whose defensive coordinator, Gus Bradley, has a history of getting the best out of players like this. James is also a top ten talent who fell further than many expected in the first round. The Florida State product is a skilled and versatile defender who has a very good chance of making a big impact in the NFL from day one.

Brooks Koepka holed a 6-iron from 208 yards for just the second albatross (double-eagle) at #16 in Players Championship history:

He also tied the course-record (his birdie putt on 18 lipped out):
