FSU football addressed a lot of their needs during the 2019 recruiting class, but there was one area that is getting the attention for what they didn’t get.

National Signing Day was not been a dream for FSU football by far. For the second year, the Noles have failed to land a scholarship quarterback. The Noles have also failed to sign a scholarship running back for the 2019 class; although they are returning several running backs for the 2019 season.

Some good news came when Treshaun Ward, a three star running back from Plant City, Florida joined the 2019 class as a preferred walk on despite scholarship offers from Maryland, Louisville, and Kentucky.

The prospects for the 2020 class look much more promising, although those are commits and not signed letters of intent at this point, and they can always decommit, as the Noles have learned in 2019 all too well. Overall, the Noles have managed to add depth at positions on the offensive line, and especially the secondary; however, the failure to sign a quarterback is a huge blow for the Noles.

The failure to recruit running backs is not as big of a blow as Florida State needed to save scholarships for other positions that they desperately need to add depth too. The quarterback position no doubt is at the top of that list.
