One of the biggest questions going into the 2025 season is how the FSU defense will generate a pass rush.
FSU fans have become accustomed to great defensive ends like Jermaine Johnson and Jared Verse dominating off the edge, and the expectation was that Patrick Payton and Marvin Jones Jr. would continue that in 2024.
However, both were major disappointments and are no longer on the team. Former FSU defensive coordinator Adam Fuller relied on the defensive ends to do a lot of the work, setting the edge in the run game and winning their matchups in obvious passing downs.
