LSU Tigers
For the 2023 season, the Florida State Seminoles enter with high expectations as they return 8 offensive starters and several impactful transfers bringing a wealth of talent to the program. Led by second-team All-ACC QB Jordan Travis, the Seminoles’ offense finished 16th in the nation last season in scoring (36.1 points per game) and 10th in total offense (484.2 yards per game). The dual-threat QB has complemented rushing threat Trey Benson and will be flanked by two experienced transfers, Johnny Wilson and Keon Coleman, come the 2023 season. The offensive line includes three experienced transfer players: Casey Roddick from Colorado, Jeremiah Byers from UTEP, and Keiondre Jones from Auburn. As for the defense, plenty of talented returning players and transfers, including first-team All-ACC defensive end Jared Verse and ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year Patrick Payton, will hope to continue their success by allowing 20.6 points per game, ranked 20th in the nation. With this deep and experienced team, the Seminoles are primed to compete for their first birth in the CFB Playoff since 2014.
