Based on FSU’s portal activity I think you can make the argument that FSU feels much better about its defensive roster than they do on the offensive side of the ball. They only added two defensive backs so far in the spring portal window so FSU must feel better about its edge group than most observers do.
While the results were not as cataclysmic as the offensive side of the ball last year, Mike Norvell brought in defensive coordinator Tony White to run a new defensive scheme never before seen in Tallahassee. The 3-3-5 and White are off to a stellar start, especially from how his side of the ball communicated and understood their assignments during the scrimmage open to the media.
