Kyle Meyers played and started in a number of games his first three seasons before only appearing in four games in 2019. Levonta Taylor has largely been a bust as the former No.1 ranked cornerback in the nation. He had a strong 2017 season but injuries and just poor play have made his FSU career a disappointment. It probably doesn’t help to have the defensive coaches he had too though. Emmett Rice was often injured the first two years on campus, but emerged in 2019 as the second leading tackler on the team. He could be an impact player next year as a senior.
Logan Tyler was dismissed at the beginning of the 2019 season. He was OK at times but nothing special while Ricky Aguayo got worse every year he was on campus. Gabe Nabers was a solid player in his limited role while Keith Gavin was largely disappointing. Dontavious Jackson could have left last year for all I care and Janarius Robinson has been decent at times and could have a strong senior season in 2020.
