Florida State releases updated roster

Florida State recently started its spring semester, and along with that comes a new roster for the football program.

Some of the things that stuck out at first glance:

• D’Mitri Emmanuel is still listed on the roster, even though he was a redshirt-senior last season. There’s been chatter of FSU and “Meech” pursuing an NCAA waiver for a previous injury at Charlotte, and it seems that’s still in play. This is definitely a situation to monitor.

• Akeem Dent has changed numbers from 27 to 1. Time for him to prove he deserves a single-digit jersey.
• South Carolina Gamecocks tight end transfer Jaheim Bell will sport No. 6 this season.

• 5-star wide receiver Hykeem Williams checks in at 6’2 210 pounds and will wear No. 8.

• Linebacker (and fullback) DJ Lundy has switched from 46 to 10.
• Quarterback Brock Glenn is listed at 6’2 205 pounds and will wear No. 11.

• Defensive end Patrick Payton has switched from 56 to 11.

• Miami Hurricanes defensive line transfer Darrell Jackson is listed at 6’5 315 pounds and will wear No. 14.

• South Carolina defensive end transfer Gilber Edmond is listed at 6’4 245 pounds and will wear No. 19.

• JUCO defensive end Jaden Jones is listed at 6’5 230 pounds and will wear No. 22.
