Recruiting
The latest edition of our ever-going Florida State football recruiting thread is out, just in time for the latest edition of NoleThruandThru’s Florida State of Recruiting, out today at 8 a.m. talking what could be next on the trail.
Side note: We’ve got a few ideas, but we’re spitballing names around for a recruiting-centric podcast. If you’ve got one, throw it in the comments. Even if it’s bad, it’ll make us feel better about our ideas.
The Triple Option, our show breaking down film of FSU football and Seminoles recruits, welcomed Zach Blostein of Noles247 yesterday to talk about the film of several prospects. This action-packed episode gives an update on where the Seminoles stand while doing what it does best- using film to give an idea of what these kids might bring to FSU. This includes a film breakdown of the most recent commit Jarrale Powers, a high ceiling tight end prospect from Texas.
2022 four-star receiver Jayden Gibson included Florida State in his top eight:

Football
Newbie Tomahawk Nation writer Tommy Mire sat down on yesterday’s Zoom press conference to talk with some football newbies, FSU’s early enrollees. Shyheim Brown, Shambre Jackson, Patrick Payton, Byron Turner Jr. and George Wilson- all defensive players- were on the docket, and you can read a breakdown here.
Our schedule preview countdown continues with a breakdown of Jacksonville State, who last year almost pulled off a devastating upset before becoming the blood sacrifice for the rise of Jordan Travis.
Tight end Camm McDonald, who has been pegged by his teammates as being one of the players at the forefront of establishing a personal brand, is up and running with a YouTube channel.
