It seems like a good time to dissect the depth chart now that the FSU football roster is almost complete thanks to the transfer site. After thinking about it, I decided against it as I thought FSU would probably sign additional players during the spring transfer window. What this implies for the Noles’ depth chart estimates for 2024 is that Florida State didn’t add or lose as many players as most expected during the spring transfer window.
Top Replacements: Trevor Jackson, Brock Glenn, and Luke Kromenhoek
With Jordan Travis’ eligibility coming to an end and Tate Rodemaker registering with the transfer site, FSU desperately needed depth and experience. The Noles just could not afford to start two quarterbacks on scholarship who had combined for only two career starts in 2024.
After pursuing two very skilled quarterbacks with extensive starting experience, Florida State ultimately signed DJ Uiagalelei, a former player for Clemson and Oregon State. He provides the Noles a great chance to get to the College Football Playoff, and he lets young players like Glenn and Kromenhoek get meaningful practice reps without having to win. As a blue-chip walk-on, Trevor Jackson showed promise but was still in his development. You won’t be surprised to see Uiagalelei involved in the run often as the offense relies on a vertical assault and runs a lot.
