Final Thoughts

Matthew Thomas still has time to make an impact on his legacy. Kermit Whitfield, Jesus Wilson, Nate Andrews and Freddie Stevenson probably out performed their ratings with Andrews having one year left and a few others.

Andrews is an experienced player, but likely won’t be a huge contributor next season due to younger talent surpassing him.

Overall, the 2013 FSU Football recruiting class has been a disappointment with only 45 percent of the class being blue chip players.

Over 54 percent of the class either didn’t contribute, transferred or became academically ineligible. Only 50 percent (5 of 10) of the blue chip players have made significant contributions on the field.

However, the class did give us two of the better players during the Jimbo Fisher era with Jalen Ramsey and DeMarcus Walker.
