Today, we’ll be talking with transfer quarterback McKenzie Milton and linebacker Jermaine Johnson — make sure you follow along on Twitter, and stay posted for our recap afterwards.
.@McKenzieMil10 has been an inspiration to millions...including me. Is he tired of talking about his story? Sorta. But only because he’s ready for the next chapter in his life. Can’t wait to see him take the field at @FSUFootball https://t.co/LOm6Y2Gt7j pic.twitter.com/fq8azsJj4v

#Miami announced several defensive staff changes today, but this is the key development, from coach Manny Diaz: "Blake [Baker] will continue to run our defense and I will call the defensive plays on game days, which we feel is our best path to maximizing our strengths."

(Cam Akers has racked up 20+ touches per game with ease over the past month and a half; we need to consider him a legit first-round option in fantasy football drafts of all shapes and sizes in 2021 if we have reason to believe this will continue and it kinda sorta looks that way)

Recruiting:
I’ve long thought that Travis Hunter, Jr. is the best DB in the 2022 class but to be frank he might be the best prospect period. Tim Scribble breaks down the Georgia prospect’s case as No. 1 in next year’s signing class.
Here’s a great comment from harperrb:
Context for everyone:
Currently, Travis Hunter is tied 16th highest recruit for FSU (for all time for those ranked) behind/with the following:
Ernie Sims = 1.000 (2003)
Mario Edwards = 0.9995 (2012)
Lorenzo Booker = 0.9992 (2002)
Cam Akers = 0.9984 (2017)
Derwin James = 0.9982 (2015)
Travis Johnson = 0.9982 (2000)
Chris Davis = 0.9980 (2002)
Fred Rouse = 0.9980 (2005)
Karlos Williams = 0.9977 (2011)
Myron Rolle = 0.9977 (2006)
Jacobbi McDaniel = 0.9974 (2009)
Bryant McFadden = 0.9968 (2000)
Lavonta Taylor = 0.9967 (2016)
Xavier Lee = 0.9964 (2004)
Marvin Wilson = 0.9958 (2017)
Matthew Thomas = 0.9957 (2013)
Travis Hunter = 0.9957 (2022)
At this point, there's no "if" Travis Hunter ends up at #FSU (as we've said constantly)---he's a Nole:https://t.co/PsUJfXbJuA https://t.co/oxfG6eGcaJ
