Florida State went to the transfer portal to add Auburn's Ashton Daniels at the quarterback position. The Seminoles now have Ashton Daniels, Kevin Sperry, and Jaden O'Neal in the room. Florida State was involved with other quarterback transfers such as Florida's DJ Lagway and UNLV's Anthony Colandrea.
However, they decided to go in a different direction. The fan base wanted Sperry to be QB1 this upcoming season since the Seminoles have gone to the transfer portal the past two years with DJ Uiagalelei and Thomas Castellanos, who didn't pan out.
The offense under coordinator Gus Malzahn doesn't require the quarterback position to be special, but it needs to be good enough to be effective if the defense loads the box for the running game.
