FSU football valuing production and relationships from early transfer portal targets

The transfer portal officially opened on Friday, and Florida State wasted no time getting some of its top targets on campus this weekend. FSU has several needs in the trenches, quarterback, secondary, tight end, and other areas.

One of the things that stood out regarding the first wave of targets has been experience, production, and relationships with coaches on the staff. Some of the names associated with interest in FSU:

  • Rocky Beers-TE (Production)
  • Xavier Townsend-WR/RB/PR (Production and started his career at UCF with Gus Malzahn)
  • John Walker-DT (Experience and production, and played for Malzahn at UCF)
  • Bryant Williams-OT (Experience and production)
  • Jaquez White-CB (Experience and production)
  • Tyler Brown-S (Experience and production)
  • Paul Bowling-OL (Experience and production)
  • Ben Murawski-OL(Experience and production)
  • Nehemiah Chandler-CB (Experience and production)
  • Zylan Perry-RB (Experience and production)

Some of these players have more than one year of eligibility remaining, which helps build long-term depth at certain positions (while young guys continue to develop).
