FSU football: Position group confidence rankings 2019
By Kelvin Hunt
Quarterbacks
The FSU football quarterback room is finally a position of strength folks! Here’s my QB depth chart right now:
- James Blackman
- Alex Hornibrook
- Jordan Travis
- Wyatt Rector
There’s a narrative being shaped out there recently about the QB competition. I’m sure Alex Hornibrook is doing as well as he can, but I’m not buying that narrative at all.
I just don’t see how he can come into a brand new offense and really challenge for the job after Blackman has been here the whole time and is the unquestioned leader in the clubhouse.
I think Blackman will be a significant upgrade over Deondre Francois on and off the field. Hornibrook will be an experienced No. 2 if he has to play and Jordan Travis is eligible to play as the No. 3 which is a huge plus.
The offensive line will need to do a better job of protecting these guys, and they’ll need to do a better job of not holding ball so long. I don’t think the latter will be a problem as I see Briles quickly getting the ball out of their hands into the hands of playmakers.
