Joshua Kaindoh

Joshua Kaindoh was a five-star recruit who choose FSU football over a ton of other elite programs.

He’s 6 feet 6 inches and 250 pounds as a true freshman who will look to get snaps as the only defensive ends with experience are Josh Sweat and Brian Burns.

Kaindoh is still raw, but it helps he was an early enrollee and soaks up information like a sponge according to FSU coach Brad Lawing.

There’s a good possibility he’ll play valuable snaps to spell the starters at times during the season which will create good depth moving forward.

The good thing about Kaindoh unlike Burns last season, he’s already physically big enough play against the run. That means he could potentially be on the field more than just passing situations.

Kaindoh may not have the flashy sack stats Burns had last season, but he may have more overall tackles because he can do both.
