Your one stop shop for National Signing Day (although the day has lost some of its luster):

Moves are still being made in the transfer portal, but it should be rather slow for Florida State until the spring:
Football
The ACC released FSU’s schedule last night:
What are your main takeaways?
How many wins should fans expect? What are your best-case, worst-case, and realistic scenarios?
Good on Louisville Cardinals DB transfer Greedy Vance:

Is FSU finally getting into the NIL game?
We heard from new defensive backs Sam McCall and Azareye’h Thomas on Tuesday:
Did the guys miss anyone? Who’s too high or too low?

Kevin Steele’s still getting paid to coach?
Kevin Steele has signed a deal to become @CanesFootball’s defensive coordinator, sources tell ESPN. Steele had been pursued by @TerpsFootball and the two sides were in the process of trying to finalize a deal last week, but Mario Cristobal has locked up Steele to be Miami’s DC.

Wonder if Mario will get an offensive coordinator before spring practice...
Ken Dorsey’s hiring as the Buffalo Bills’ offensive coordinator means the Miami grad will not be the Hurricanes’ OC. That was a possibility, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ, if Dorsey didn’t get an NFL OC job

NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah has Johnson ranked 20th among NFL Draft prospects:
Rank: 20
Florida State · Edge · Senior (RS)
Johnson transferred from Georgia to Florida State for his final college season and put up monster numbers for the Seminoles. He has ideal size, length and quickness. As a pass rusher, he has a quick get-off, but he needs to lengthen his stride and gain more ground. He uses his length to snatch/pull tackles (SEE: sack/forced fumble/TD return vs. Clemson) to collect sacks. He also has a steady bull rush to walk tackles back to the quarterback. He does have hip tightness when he gets to the high side of his pass rush. Against the run, he uses his length to keep blockers away from his frame and he sets the edge consistently. He runs well and his effort is very good on the back side. Overall, Johnson should be a three-down player early in his career.

Daniel Berger and Brooks Koepka are both ranked in the top 20 of the world. They join former Texas Longhorns standouts Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth, giving those two schools this distinction:
